Member Posts: 22 | Ralf, is the interior from SMS? Where did you get the mylar for the door panels? Thanks, Carl | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 640 Location: Finland | No Carl ,the interior is sewed at a local upholstery shop from vinyl off the roll. It is pretty close but not 100. I could not have endured the SMS waiting... The door panel mylar is not mylar , it is chromed vinyl I think. Not like the original but shiny at least and affordable. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9604 Location: So. Cal | Good choice Ralf. It would be very difficult to replace it if you sold it. This is another Sea Coast Aqua car.
