Help! I need to find this fabric!!

Ive searched and searched and searched and searched to no avail. Finding this fabric has proven not to be easy.

Does anyone here on third gen have any ideas?
Im getting desperate, lol. I need a pretty good amount of it also, Ill have to measure exactly.

Re: Help! I need to find this fabric!!

If SMS doesn't have it, it all might be gone forever, unfortunately. The supply was almost non-existent (at least for the black) a few years ago.

Is that one of the aftermarket door panels pictured? Certainly doesn't look original.

These are supposed to be original door panels, though i cant find any like them.
I know for sure these panels were on the car in 1991 as pictured in auto security and sound, which stated they were original gm

Those look original. Your upholstery probably originally had striped bolsters that matched. My car is all original and has that stripe pattern, only in a different color.

That looks like 85-86 custom cloth in light saddle.It should feel like velour.I have that same color/style in my 86 Iroc.

Re: Help! I need to find this fabric!!

But notice that there is no vinyl trim strip dividing the fabric and lower carpet sections. The top corner of the fabric also seems to have a bit of a rounded edge.

I was just wondering if they were the common aftermarket replacements, because if they were, I'm holding off on buying new ones until something else is out there.

Re: Help! I need to find this fabric!!

I was able to find stock pallex cloth for my GTA seats at this place.... http://www.larrydennis.com/automotiv...troitmatch.asp It's worth a try.


The "Madrid" velour on the seat kits at Hawks also has those lines like that, but they may be closer together. http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/Pr...eatfabric2.jpg

Re: Help! I need to find this fabric!!

I'm pretty sure I have those door panels for you. Here's a link to them on our site.

I can send you a free color sample if you would like.

1986 - 1992 Chevy Camaro Door Panel Set in Madrid Velour

Here's the color you should need.

P775 SANDSTONE VELOUR/SAND CARPET (this looks just like it and does have the stripes)
