Lol

The smell is very important for me too.

I love the smell of new things (books, etc) ;)

....until you're going to install a new rubber mat in your SW cockpit.......yugh !

I'm afraid that rubber smell will persist for quite some time......but it looks great (if I get to install it properly)....
