i have
the frames are easy enough to make
it is mounting it to tha door neatly that is a pain now
and i am still deciding on fabric

i really need more pics of the Front Table
i can get this made--cheap
only expensive part is trim/stain
you could make this from a cheaper wood and add an expensive veneer to the tops
the chrome trim will hide the edges

now where do i get tha chrome trim...........................

Sean (MyBox) already has the curtains and headliner finished in his car. Actually, out of all of the xBs I've seen, Sean has taken it the furthest.

its pretty easy as for the headliner. theres DIY in here that people have done. im planning on doing it this winter.

as for Sean, you might want to check to make sure he still has the box

word on the street that it got traded

kind of sad but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Sean still has his xB and you will all see its latest mod when it comes back from the shop. The other vehicle was not was it had claimed to be.

The headliner should be easy enuff to do. There aren't any complex curves in it. Just make sure you have the right glue and make sure everything is set before handling it.

Oh, and for the chrome trim on the lower window/upper door area, M@ used the chrome trim found at Kragens. I tried calling M@, but he has a new cell number now, and I don't have it.

that moulding is almost right
should we start a DIY VIP thread
about our accomplishments in making custom accessories patterned after JDM VIP products???

the WORLD must know of our fascination with bubble ***** and button tuck upholstery!!!!!!!!
