I don't know if there is an exact meaning behind it but I have always associated it with being western (Just the star and circle). The way I have it now with the bars attached to the star royalty core calls it "airborne warstar"

The a**holes that sold this vinyl to me still have not responded to let me know why they sent this vinyl to me and not the correct one.

Haha! They said that the picture does make it look glossy but the vinyl they sent is what they took the pictures of. So this will do while the one I really want is making it's way across the ocean from China.

I want to do some custom stuff to the door panels but I'm not exactly sure what I want to do.

It's not bad you just need to be patient and take your time. It takes a lot of stretching with heat to get it to form around corners so you don't get any creases.

It would match my grille. Along with wrapping the old school vinyl on the doors with king ranch leather....

I think I may go with custom upholstered seats as good like new condition king ranch seats can go for 5 grand. I will probably buy cheap cloth super duty seats and reupholster those. If I can take the cloth off them and pull all the different pieces apart I think I may be able sew my own seats as my grandfather has a big heavy duty leather sewing machine for his leather work. So I've been looking at colors and came across this color and I think it looks pretty close to the dark brown seats that come in platinum's.

I also found this that looks very, very similar to the newer king ranch leather but I would have to get some samples before I purchase a big amount.

I will also have "Centurion" embroidered into the headrests.

I think that redish brown leather would look great with the black and gray I already have.
