[DeTomaso] Your opinion is requested... and still looking for stock early 72 seats

Go to an auto upholstery shop and ask for black "backless carpet".  
It looks and feels like a very thick felt but is far more durable and stretches in all directions.
It's typically used to line the trunks of high-end autos.
I used it with the attached seam lines and adhered it using 3M spray Trim Adhesive #08074.
I folded it 4 inches or so over the back side of the tub so it's gentle on whatever fenderwell finish you have.
I  found no need for the Dsus fasteners so I covered right over the holes in the tub.
It looks and wears great.

Julian,
    Any thoughts on grades of felt?  I did a little looking a while back and there are lots of variations.  There were some very strong felts, but I'm not sure they can stretch to fit a curved surface.
