Interior cover for the convertibles

Like the old English convertibles, I have a pattern to cover the interior of the RX7 convertible when the top is down and the car is parked. Its all or nothing though as you can't zip it back to expose only the driver side cockpit.
It is attached in the trunk, sides and under the wiper blades so it goes over the windshield. No hardpoint attachments so nothing to drill, remove or glue on.
What would be interest in this in Sunbrella fabrics, usually come in blue, but yellow, red, etc also available.
Sunbrella is a brandname for boat canvas. Waterproof and rot resistant.

I have the material so that came to about $60. It is a blue and this will be the prototype. I'm making the leather boots and in that have learned that when I make something for myself as others in the community, I want to keep the costs down. That means, I don't yet know what the labor will be and the thread should be negligible. If I can get my costs back for the Sunbrella canvas, in return for an evaluation that might work. There are some odds and ends such as straps and small canvas pieces to secure the thing, but overall I need feedback.
Take a look at Sunbrella and ask what the stuff costs where you are. It isn't cheap and I live on the coast where a lot is sold. I'm saying that I can't really bring those costs down yet for the material since I haven't yet bought enough of it.

well figuring 100% mark up (so around $120), I would still be intrested, but I still would like to see one before I send out the money.

Well, that's what I'm trying to stay away from. I don't do it on my leather shift boot business. I don't want to gouge, and I won't do it with this. I'm only expecting reimbursement of costs on the trial pieces. That's it, so you might be interested in the cover at a lot less than $120.
I just don't have the overhead to merit that sort of increase.
