    ///M Leather - ideas for an R3V exclusive?

    I've put together some leather in ///M colors. I was thinking that since R3V has supported me over the years, I could do a group buy on something exclusive for R3V only made with it - boot sets, seat centers, or any other ideas that you may have. Post your ideas here, and then I'll come up with a killer price for an R3V exclusive. Here is the leather:


    Cheers,

    Rob, since it seems to me that the primary want for seat stuff is bolsters, can you (or do you) make new covers for the seat bolsters?

    I would love a set of bolsters with those ///M stripes on the left side of each seat...

            I do seat centers (where the ///M stripe in the corner would usually go). I also do bolster covers (ie the sides of the seat) but not sure where I would work in the stripe there.

              I'd be down for a r3v only bootset in some sort of m tri-color stripe design, I dont know how you'd make it distinct from all the other m color boots out there though.

                What about doing a leather ebrake handle that has m stripes running front to back across the bottom? It wold be very subtle, but might be kinda cool.

                  Now are the bolsters the ones with the red X or the one with the blue X.



                  How about the m colors on the thing that is the blue X, What ever it is called? Or how about m color's on the head rest?

                    The red X's are def. bolsters. I usually call the blue X a leg extension.

                    Those are both good ideas. Maybe if I made them somehow easy to attach over top, so someone wouldn't need a completely new center cushion cover/headrest?

                        i call it thigh support...

                        but what about like just a straight stripe, front to back, about an inch thick on the shift boot. and then one on top of the ebrake boot running the lentgh of the boot

                        just throwin ideas out there, i already have one of your shift and ebrake boots

                            Some good ideas in the thread. I really like the knee bolster one - very different. I'm going to give it a try, and a new ebrake boot, and see how they come out.
