Interior idea revisited
« on: November 08, 2011, 04:53:02 AM »
After Re-reading the "Gucci Hornet" post, I got to thinking, I like the idea of denim jean material for the interior. And for my bird, I would want a black distressed denim. I think that would LOOK killer in a black and red SX4 sport. I even found some fabric by the roll.

http://www.fabric.com/apparel-fashion-fabric-denim-fabric-washed-down-distressed-denim-fabric.aspx

there are many types, colors and styles. But I think this would be as close to a "Levi" Edition interior as a person could get.

Yes, I realize, but obviously there is something to be said about "appearance" I figure why go for the "Look" when I can go for the real deal. Besides, I think it would be worth it. and the material isn't exactly expensive. besides, How many cars do you know that have denim interiors these days?

Doh!  I forgot to include the link to the Ferrari with the denim interior!  Here it is.

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/car-chat/439319-one-of-a-kind-denim-interior.html

The material used by AMC for the original Levi's interior wasn't really denim but a denim-like fabric.  I forget the reason why they didn't go with the real thing.

Kind of updating an old thread here, but I finally found a link to some of the original type Levi's material used in AMC's.  Its a Jeep specialty shop, they are also advertising NOS 258 blocks.
