Is the plastic cover itself different?

I ditched all of my interior leather for charcoal alcantara, but if a cover the was ready to be covered (?!) were available, or you could do it in the material I want, I'd be in to it. I have your regular cover, anmd it's an excellent piece, and I'll never forget the fact that it was packaged with free bubble gum. :-)

Thank you! Yes, I was skeptical at first but I think it blends in very well-- As per request (don't judge my moldy door, I took it out of a friends car lol)

It's a modified cover, The "tab" where you put your finger to lift the lid is eliminated and some sanding is required to compensate for the Leather material. I wouldn't mind wrapping it in another material if it was provided, my only concern is I'd have to see the material first and test its properties. If the fabric doesn't have any "stretch" to it, it will show more wrinkles and the corners will not be as clean. This is my second lid I've wrapped and I'd say the upholstery is about an 8/10 right now, compared to my first one, the corner are night and day (in regards of the seams)

And thanks for your support! Glad the extra expense was worthwhile to get a few chuckles out of it ahhaha!

Hey Everyone,
We finally finished our V4 lid, tested and satisfied with the results!
At this time they are currently available in 94 textured finish only. For other versions please see below
Map Lid V4 ? Bubble Tech

Please note, we are transitioning our business to group buys and limited production runs only. We will be only making a few extras once pre-orders have closed. (This does not pertain to just map lids) We will begin stocking a hand full of products before everything turns over to production runs so please plan and purchase accordingly. We are hoping this will increase our efficiency and allow us more time to develop new products without interruptions!

In order to get LHD 93 Smooth finish going, and/or RHD 94 Textured finish map lids, we will need at least 20 committed buyers or 20 pcs spoken for. Once we have 20 people interested a minimum deposit of $20 will be required and then we will start the production process. Please copy and paste with you name added to the list if you're interest. (Please put your Forum name/ First and Last name as I will add others who are interested and to avoid duplicates)
