Default V.I.P. curtan question

So how would I go about making a custom set of curtains? I am going to make my own pillows, neck pads and curtans. Only ishue is I don't know how to go about making the sliders for the curtans.

As a last resort ill just order some cheepies off Ebay and cover em.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I'm not trying to be like every other VIP car around. That's why I'm custom making a lot of stuff. I will be custom making my VIP tables and rear center consol. I know y'alls jaws are gona drop when I finish em. But any ways, nobody knows how the curtains are made? If someone could even take some close up pics it might help. I don't want to have to buy Ebay curtans. I'm trying to get my car together by the middle of next month since I'm going to drive from Wichita KS to Chicago to go to the meet on May 20th.

I would try looking at a pair of ready made curtains in person and just try replicating the same design or mechanism they use for the slider. Good luck.

I do know the curtain slides on a black plastic rail that mounts by/inside the window track. Don't know where you would buy this piece or what you'd put inside it to connect to your curtain material.

I've always thought the pedophile curtains were stupid. If you're worried about privacy.......tint the damn windows already.

Its not about privacy. I have a 2 yr old that sits in my back seat. Also, I'm wanting to try to bring the VIP style to the midwest where its ruled by mussle cars, DUB style and wana be tuners. I'm gona start entering shows and I don't want to leave any gussing to what VIP is.

I haven't made em yet do to other things taking priority. Btw, my interior is beige. I plan on re-doing my entire interior black so I would be looking for black curtains.

i dont see anything wrong with custom curtains. wouldn't too bad if you made it very luxury.

just make sure they are not some tacky drapes over the car


heres an idea, it'll look better if you customize a logo or some sort catered specifically to you or your car
