      What type of fabric or material is this?

      I was just curious, what type of material is the silver,shiney fabric in the center of this panel... Not the chrome rib piece or the handles but the larger area...?

      Looks like it could be perforated aluminum, polished, on top of a light colored backing. But of course this is just a wild guess!

      looks nice. I agree... looks to be some kind of metal with tiny holes. Mesh grill material.

      I get it from mcmaster.com. They offer many different sytles and openings. It can also be polished.

      I usually use 40% for speaker grills and 20% for cosmetic only panels. Depending on your application, your opening and thickness will vary.
      Yes, the front seats are the elite series. I have the ralley series in my 69 camaro but I like the elite series better. The rears were custom built out of foam bucket cushions I got from a place out of Houston,TX.

      And the 40% is still perforated staggered steel, not the diamond expanded?

      Thx for all of your help...
