update: talked to Bob today and ordered a pair of straps. i am also ordering a hardware kit that should allow me to tie these into the door release properly.
i talked to Bob quite a bit about the GL movement and what we do. he was talking about doing some VW specific hardware kits for his RS handles and pulls and its going to research door panels as well using vinyl and c/f look vinyl that Porsche uses.
here is an example of that on one of his 911 panels.
he also recovers/rebuilds 911 seats in leather.
