We are doing another run on these and will have them ready in about 2 weeks. If you need one right away, PM me I have one in my personal stash I can get you.
-Mark PS some folks have simply covered these in perlon and opted out on the foam and vinyl. |

I used this product to reupholster a backpad for another member here, about a year and a half ago. It's a good product but if you plan to upholster it as original, then the real problem is the foam. If you can re-use your original foam, then it's great. or source used foam if you can. If not, then you have to try to custom sculpt the foam.. which is what I had to do. It came out great but I'd only do it again as a labor of love (would have to charge way too much as a service to accurately sculpt out the foam for a customer). The original foam is not a simple design, luckily I had my own personal originals to go by.

Thanks for the info/offer. I'm a ways out before needing it. I would definitely entertain just wrapping with no foam, although I'd be curious to see how one looks before doing it. |

I would definitely entertain as mentioned, going without the foam just curious how it looks? Thanks |
