Looks good!!! Love the pattern. Did you use an adhesive to hold it to the plastic?

Yes I did. There is a DIY link at the bottom of the first post. It describes everything including how to remove the back panel.

Darn your DIYs...Now I have another project on my list of Mods...

...In all fairness, this was one thing I was planning on doing. Your DIY will make it much easier (you did all the trial & error for me )

Good write up and thanks!

Your Welcome The other one is finished and in now, but I just dropped the car off at the shop for some touch-up and didn't get pics.

I like what you did with the rear panels. Is that red suede?

No, they are the rear panels from a GP. I actually found a guy who had a GP and wanted back seats, so he sold me his whole rear interior .

any tips on taking out the plastic frames of the rear nets without having to remove the whole seat back? one day i was pulling something from the back of the driver seat & not realizing that it was latched onto the net forcibly pulled it out. the thin metal rod that the net weaves into came out with the net so now half of that metal piece is out from the plastic frame
