i've had a search for u but all i have came up with is mats and flooring. There r a few sites with seat covers with it allready on, maybe just buy them and chop out the checker plate bits. dunno

If uphosterers can't organize it, I'd even consider buying some cheap seat covers and cutting them up to use that section on your seats. But you would want to confirm that the fabric is suitable (not too stretchy etc) for the job beforehand.

I can't say I've seen it done other than the floormats etc as Kaz said.

Try UDA they are all over Australia - http://www.uda.net.au or
Daley's - http://www.daleys.com.au/
I know Daley's in Adelaide had some Tonneau material in a chequer plate pattern.

Man, the back of your legs are gunna look funny in summer when you get out the car though.

he probably just forgot... :D

i will try and get a photo up of a sample that we have, its not checker plate as such, but similar, comes in silver or black.

we should have all these on our site but havent managed to get there yet, always doing some one else's stuff instead of our own
