If you guys make anything that needs covering, don't use velour from the 
fabric store.  I covered a custom rear window dash and door panels for a 
Fastback with it, and by the end of summer, it had turned to a 
brownish-grey color.  When I redid them, I purchased vinyl and cloth from 
an automotive/boat upholstery shop.  It was the same price per foot as 
the cloth I bought at the fabric store, but had much better environmental 
resistance qualities.
