    OK guys some soap opera/telenovela update for you guys. Yesterday jm335i sent me a PM regarding the cloth status. (which BTW was in the back burner).
    As you guys might NOT know, I did had a sample run made late January (after coming back to the US) of a little bit less than 1/2 a roll (a roll is 100mts) of the blue/green pattern. My friend usually makes a small run to make sure everything is ok (weight, color, blah, blah, blah). The fabric was picked up by a relative and confirm me it was very good. A few days later, he email me and told me that somebody saw it (through his upholstery guy, see my MT2 steering wheel on this thread) and wanted to buy the whole thing. Since I didn’t want to deal with all the hustle of shipping, customs etc, I told him to sell it so I could recoup all my setup and materials cost.
    I told jm335i that I would email my friend and find out when could he fit a production run. (Usually between large orders). To make the story short, I got an email today that they can start making it in 30 to 40 days from now (it only takes a day.)
    COST WILL BE 40 (FORTY) US PER METER shipped to an US Address. For the first 6 mts. After that I will add a bit more for large orders (non US addresses will pay actual shi.
    Right now I’m trying to negotiate a second color combo and the minimum quantity. I hope I don’t get too many flakes since the minimum order is quite large. (larger than was originally agreed on.) Just the shipping weight will be well over 1000 pounds.
    I” start a thread with names and qty to get a 'guestimate.'

    So it's the same pattern/texture/colors, etc as my first post in this thread or like the above picture?

    Glad this happen at the end!

                    Sweet. I am definitely in for 7 yards. 10 if it is more convenient for you. I can't wait until it is available. I have and will continue to have paypal ready when you are.

                    When you choose another color set I will probably in for that too. Red/yellow would be cool.

                              Question. How difficult is it for an upholstery shop to add the foam backing like in the first pic? It adds quite a bit to the look of it, IMO.

                              Question 2. Would the roll be wide enough to do a hardtop headliner? =X

                              Do we have a rough eta of when this is happening? I'm out of the loop...thanks!
