Default VIP curtains?

i was just wondering if anyone here has VIP curtains?
im wanting to do the inside VIP but want to see what it looks like if anyone can get me a pic and how its installed that would be great... i want to keep the outside sporty (not 2b confused with a rice burner) and then make the inside all VIP. i saw the jp curtains but just want to see a closer look at them or other ones from the inside and also when the window is down i knw its alot to ask but i just needed some help
thanks in advance

Imsomniac, do you have an outside picture a little further away? I was looking at our front window and it seems a little small where it starts curving. What size are yours? Would mediums all around or smalls in front and mediums in rear look nicer when extended? Im concerned about getting one too long in the front and having alot of slack hanging when it starts to curve down.

Looks nice. Your rails appear to be more of a bar that the curtains wrap around, where as JP/Garson/D.A.D. are on more of a "track" system. How did you attach your rails to the door panel? I was contemplating doing the same myself. I mean all it is, is some fabric, stitching, and rails. But I think I'll save myself the hassle, that and I dont have a sewing machine

The sizes S/M/L only effect the height. The length of the railing is the same on all of them. This is due to it being a universal design and the fact all door length are different sizes. If you want them for your car you will need a small. if you get any larger size they will sag. Nobody really closes them anyways But if that still does not satisfy you, there is a company that makes curtains car specific but they are not cheap, a full set goes for over $700. The company is called Grace Trim http://www.gracetrim.com/hpgen/HPB/c...ies/30362.html

Ill take closer pics tomorrow but the attatch with screws so these are pretty much permanent I had some with double sided tape but the tracks kept falling with the heat. The curtain holders are like a hook so when you want to close the curtain they can just by pulling them, without having to undo a velcro strap
