"Snap-On" slip over car seat covers, especially the "Real Fake Ones"(tm). They've gone from industry use to "Strap-On"(tm) use....

I'm pretty sure it's a mockup by Ford. I'm certain I saw this a long time back, in a bunch of photos put up on the old forums, by someone who had done a factory tour, or something.

he should do something with the doortrims to meet up with the dash, it doesnt look right there... obviously you think its rice, judging by the filename..

personally, if it is stock under the bonnet, then yeah its rice, but if its got a nice hot 6 or mild to hot 8 under the bonnet, some decent rims n rubber and suspension work it's not rice at all....

He was saying that it wasn't finished yet, so i'm assuming he'll finish it off.
Just thinking it was wired having a VS dash in a VK. The VS is a wider car.

Huh? The one pictured is a clay model. Are you sure it was actually produced? I think you'd better re-check that Wheels mag... Pretty sure it was never built.
