Default A Pillar Material

Posted in audio, might get more responses here.

I'm working on a set of A Pillars to relocate my tweeters out of the door handles. Everyone wants pictures so here they are waiting to be covered for the most part.

Where do you get the material to cover these? I went to UFO here in National City and they don't have anything that matches the dark black color.

And yes, I borrowed a pair of the wife' pantyhose. Just don't tell her.

You could send them to Dennis at double D mods to have him vinyl coat them for you. His texture/ paint looks factory.

Nice work! I had the Richmond, VA shop, Audio One, do mine upon recommendation of member Gitusum. The vinyl they used was pretty close to factory and looks great. You might want to contact them and ask where they get their's.

You could use vinyl, leather or alcantara..even that 3M carbon fiber wrap might not look too bad..
