My cover almost fit. Getting new one made. You can also make the hatches close like my BFF mild thunder has and pad them.

MT, Do you by chance know if the water jet outfit will do more work like done for you if I have a drawing?

Sorry for the HJ lil red, I'll move to PM if this is a problem.

Thats a better question for Sonic700, since he dealt with the guy.

I'd imagine you'd have to have someone locally with a waterjet machine, that you can work with. Sometimes that might be better, as in person you can explain what you want done better, and if he messes it up, its on him to redo it.

Let me talk to Ryan (sonic700), and see what we can do. I'll pm ya later so we dont pi$$ off Jamie.

I need to figure something out for my back seat. Now that the original sunpad is gone, which kinda overlapped into the back seat, it looks funky now.

BT anything is possible. Both Milds and mine started with just a cardboard stencil and an idea. Let me know if we can help. I did mine with some hi end photoshop
