I carved the sides and had the frame made for like 2 weeks now, but finally found the time to finish. Now should I paint it or should I cover it with something?

hmm still says I can't post pics. I'll figure it out...

i had to put some bondo on the sides so the fleece had a better transistion into the wood. I didn't do the best job stapling the fleece to the sides so after it was all hard I had to cut the sides up and pull the staples out. It looks fine now.

I saw that one guys with the suede and I think I'm just going to attempt sueding it. I may paint it though still :dunno: I am going to suede my headliner and door panels eventually.

I think you should cover it in nice leather:cool:

Unless your a contributing member, you will have to use photobucket, imageshack or some similar website to host your pics.

yeah I've been sanding the shit out of it, and it's for a 12" I got off of ebay. Great deal... it was only like $130 shipped

I found some left over headliner material that I had left from when I redid my headliner. I think I am going to suede it with some sort of design in it from the headliner material.
