Hi Richard
Can you tell me what the width of the material is? If you could post a picture of the back of the material.. I am thinking about having some reproduced.
Since we have access to such an original car , we should take advantage of it to try to reproduce of the parts not available.
I am also working on having the dash corner pieces reproduced. They are missing on most cars. Richard if you could post a picture..
Regards
Hervé

Many of these top latches have been chromed but it appears that on 3 very original late model spiders I've seen they are not chromed. Note strap behind.
Also trunk mat material underneath.

The proper plating underneath: Note; special exhaust clamps.
Original R.I.V. shocks and their true color.

Thanks a lot so informative.. everyone should copy and save these pictures..
I am so surprised a bout the plastic trim on the side of the hood. I went and saw the car at fantasy junction and it has also the same trim..as well as the same trim for the trunk.. very informative..
Thanks again
Hervé
