Just remember, it probably doesn't have any UV resistance. So if it's in the sun for very long, it's gonna fade. What are you going to do with it?

make new door cards. I have the masonite wood left over. I plan on making em over spring break even though it would take like a day to do.

I didn't even think about UV resistance. I just found this cheap durable cool fabric that matches really well and is super cheap.

yeah they sorta work I replaced the speakers and it sounds a bit better but I think I would rather have a set of 6x9 in the back instead of four tiny speakers near my head there is a wide button on the stock stereo that makes is sound more wide whatever that means and whatever that is supposed to sound like.

Here's a well-kept secret (ok, not really) - Jo Ann fabrics have headliner fabric.

Usually, you can get it with a discount or coupons (search for em online) for like 12 bucks a meter? A full size sedan needs like 2 1/2 meters so thats a pretty good deal.

I'll totally have to tuck that away in my brain for later.

Oh word I didnt even think to check it out. It is wierd place to be. I think women get a little startled when they came around a corner and saw me. I wonder what placed are like this for women? a mostly mans world where a woman comes into and feels strange. I felt like everyone was looking at me and questioning my sexuality.

Being in a miata at a fabric store is a unique experience.

actually got stopped by a woman, like walked up and pulled on my arm, "I have to ask, what are you going to do with that fabric?" "oh I'm redoing the headliner in my car" "huh, who knew!" and away she went.
