Tunnel drapes, lets see them.
I have most of a roll of leftover material from the console cover I had made, I am thinking about having tunnel drapes made from it. Please post pics of yours to help me make up my mind.

I have never seen a tunnel drape that I like! Everyone I have seen has the same old criss crossed stitching that goes with nothing else in the car! Do they offer any practical use, such as sound deadening or heat reduction? If they do, could somebody please make them that aren't so damn ugly??

Thread wasn’t about who doesn’t like them. Not sure why the haters bother coming in if they don’t like them. Thread title was pretty clear to me 
so stfu if you don’t like them

Lots of Karen’s get their feelings hurt if you say you don’t like something. They tend to cuss like little bitches. I hear Midol works wonders.

The photo in post 2 looks nice.
Maybe the OP is asking about alternative stitching options or leather and thread colors?
Maybe even solid leather with no stitching?
FWIW I have not seen any drapes other than the diamond stitched ones.

Always looked like another $2K appearance mod to me. Rather spend that on tires, fuel and insurance premiums rather than add diamonds to my interior. McAndrew always with the gorgeous pictures. Interior looks great! Does your console lid have a lock?!

Every time I see that diamond pattern I think about old harbor freight moving blankets. Are they now the signal of class and elegance? Can we choose the pattern? Does anyone have anything different as far as tunnel drapes go? I like them better than the carpet on the tunnel.

This project was very expensive but I wanted something completely different.

Thanks. I did not want the diamonds jumping out with contrast stitching. When in person it is more subdued than in photos.
