Hi ScotchanDry, I've had two done over time on my AU's, best bet is check out a couple of local & not so local trimmers & see what fabric is available & go from there.
You will find something close to original sooner or later, just have to be prepared to travel a bit though. Best to check the fabric in person unless guaranteed oem from the internet, good luck! cheer's, Maka

Congrats, that does look close to the original. My AU2 XR8 sedan liner just sagged at rear on Saturday. Any chance you know the material used? or is the upholsterer in Sydney.
Car is extremely low K and trying to keep everything as near to original as possible. Any help greatly appreciated. |

Thanks for the help, I had AU2 SR and Verada redone by a local guy and the material is more like a felt, though reasonably close in colour. If you can find the brand and product code would be much appreciated. Cheers .
