Just wondering before i re-trim a parcel shelf in black if anybody would buy it?! I have done one in my car (got fabric left over for another one) and every body who has seen it has said it looks great, and would pay a lot to have one, but would you realy?! The job is very well done, and looks identical to factory, but in black, which they never made.

Just so i dont waste my time..any potential takers :)

Pic of mine: (as you can see i cut 6x9 hols, removed the centre seatbelt clip and filled and sanded it all smooth before stretching and fixing the fabric.

I'm not sure what a standard one is worth, and I wouldn't buy one obviously, so can't really help out :?

If you think of the material cost, then pay yourself fairly for your time, then a bit extra for the skill involved, then you should come up with the price you want?
