I asked SMS Fabrics if they had any material like the OE trunk vinyl; attached is a picture of what they sent me. Basically it's late-model seat vinyl, in gray. Is there a better source, or will this have to be 'close enough' for now? OE on the left, SMS on the rig  |

Most T34 owners are buying used T3 rear compartment lining material from Notchbacks, Variants, & Fastbacks. The used pieces are then cut into the right sizes for T34 pieces.
Barring that option, I have not seen any material that's closer to the original than the gray basketweave seat material from SMS.

Has anyone investigated getting the material reproduced?

Now that looks excellent! Well done, Thom!
Is the SMS upholstery lined on the back or straight vinyl?
Fantastic news!

I have a bunch of original trunk liner pieces. I arranged them allowing for a 48 inch width to the fabric and came up with a layout 10 feet long. I could probably do a little better than that because the actual width of the fabric is 54 inches.
Since I may end up doing two cars, I ordered 7 yards of this stuff today. $415.00 with shipping. Ouch.
