Exactly. It may cost less to do one version of the mod, but if you have to replace it every time someone pokes a finger through it, or it gets hit by flying gravel &c, the cost (especially if you include the worth of your time) builds up.

What you might want to do is to experiment with film, then when it's the way you want it, redo with fabric.
