hi
i don't think you will find one, they don't make it no more.

I wonder what a custom upholstery shop would charge and possibly give a group discount if enough wanted them? I would be game. I contacted Bob about his a while ago and the thing that put me off was having to sink screws into the car. I just didn't want to do that. When I talked to him it was still available in Japan if I remember correctly and it was only in black.

surely they have one somewhere available in the world. i have been searching the web for 2 days. black is the color im looking for. so if anyone runs into one, please let me know....im willing to pay top dollar for it.... in cash. lol

What do you mean by top dollar....I could be convinced if top really means TOP....

I'll also confirm Toxic's comment ...for correct installation you must install two permanent brackets to hold a bar which is necessary to go from horizontal to vertical with the cover. The brackets are molded ABS and "look factory OEM" but you are still penetrating the leather with screws.
One other drawback, the rear speakers and subwoofer are now behind two additional layers; the exterior cover you see in the photo above and an interior liner designed to protect the rear seat leather if you decide to use the area as an expanded trunk.

I'd suggest contacting Darrel at Sewell...not only are they a CL sponsor/vendor, but also sold the product in the past. He may information on the JDM vendor/supplier ... Lastly, if you do find one, the installation instructions were in Japanese only. Fortunately, the were also loaded with graphics which helped.

You might be able to call these guys or e-mail them and see if there is still a way to get it:

Or respond back to Darrel and ask if he can give you the name of a vendor

And yes while I did mention in a PM my cost... Apparently, taking Darrel's word, these covers are of like rare coins, there's a limited supply making them valuable. You'd have to quadruple your offer. It's all about supply and demand baby. Unlike those idiot protesters on Wall Street, I'm all for capitalism and market dynamics.

I also forgot to mention there are four other penetration that need to be made. Two clip down studs on each side must be installed on the package shelf. If you go back to my photo site, and goto the shot from the rear of the cover you can seen the studs. The install kit came with a paper temple to mark out where holes were needed and I don't know if I still have it.

I'll beat the l-tuned parts price quoted on the site linked to by SCDROPTOP by at least 6k...maybe a bit more. I'll even throw in overnight shipping

LOL.....WOW!.......i don't want one that bad....... THAT'S RIDICULOUS

Try Amazon. I thought I saw back set covers on there at one time. They may have been used, but I would guess that would be okay. Just a thought.

thanks for shopping around buddy, i looked & didnt see anything that resembles it. i think ''VVTiBob'' has the only one left in the world......unless you want to pay $106836.54
