You could get some quilting padding material and glue it down first then put whatever over it and there you go!

what
im a mans man, and if you need me i'll be out in the garage doin man things (bonus if you know where that came from)
i was thinking about mounting to the foam, but I do not think that would work our well due to the sheet fabric absorbing the glue.
i did however find this faux grizley fur that i was thinking about doing the panels in those lol
it comes in white and black, i could just picture the white getting to dirty
i might end up going with he back though
thoughts?

yea we did the black suede on the TC, i was looking for something a bit wilder!
i might go pick up the grizzly fur and screw around with it a bit, its like 6 bucks a yard so its not like im breaking the bank, i have cans of 3M spray adhesive left over from my art college days so i'll post up some pics as the week progresses.

I have done interior wrapping on many cars..... just go to a local fabric store, they will have what you need at a good price

yea i did but it all seems to thin where it would soak up the spray glue or you'll be able to see through to the black plastic part
i didnt see any really think stuff, i visited joann fabric, hobby lobby, walmarts section

joann has tons of stuff towards the back with all the upholstery stuff... it has a barrier that the 3m glue will not blead though

If you want pink and the grizzly fur I'm sure you could find some pink fur somewhere. If not the I know target has pink shag area rugs you may want to look into. Haha. not going to lie though it's going to look like an old school/ hippy/ lowrider throw back
