At first, I thought the picture in 1114's reveal was a render, it's all too crispy to be real. I'll second the comment about AM slick fabric. We didn't have too many tears, but having any tears at all was new for us. It was so thin that it was basically impossible to stretch it so that there weren't little creases all over the place. On top of that, it was ever so slightly translucent, so you could see where on the ends of the bumpers the fabric was folded in. They weren't terrible, but there's absolutely no chance that you could ever make it look as nice as some of the bumpers shown here.
