I don't know if we are looking at the same pictures, but that isn't anywhere near "almost perfect".

This is rare for them, most of their stuff needs to be installed. Personally I prefer a ready-made product as well, but that's not always possible (redline is well known in the Miata world and it's all in the install for those items) Quote:
It's a prototype. While the Velcro is....questionable, it looks worse because of the flash. If they finish the end of that flap better it would probably be fine, though the Velcro is still odd (but I can understand for being end-user installed) |

WOW!
Good job, congratulations  As for our products - thank you guys for all the feedback and let me explain the issues you raised. First of all, our products are designed for DIY installation and this is the reason why we use velcro adn why our covers HAVE TO be a bit loose to make instalaltion easier and not discourage customers from doing it. There is of course another way of DIY installation that gives much better results but is more difficult and not every one wants to tackle it as it requires lacing the seams together - similar to how steering wheel covers are installed - please see examples here:     So whoever wants to have their visor covers finished this way - just mention this in your order comments  Quote:

It is hot now. During winter is will be more obvious. I tried to re-installed it and it does not help. Also, might not be the problem of installation because there is a gap between the hood and dash.

So you mean those small creases near the stitching? I'm afraif this is the way natural leather behaves - to some extent it is a "living" materia that may stretch and shrink a bit in changing conditions. But this should not have any impact on longevity, surface or color fastness.
