Default suede interior
I'm looking for a suede-like fabric to do all my door panels and possibly my seats, although I think I might just end up getting brides...

I've looked on ebay and some websites but I'm not sure if I'm looking under the right fabric name.

So far I've looked up MICROFIBER and ULTRA SUEDE

am I right? and also, does anyone know how many yards I should need for my whole interior?

www.katzkin.com --------------Suede is not a good material, It has a mind of its own but there are suede like materials that are a perfect match

Got it but I didn't say I wanted suede. I have a hard enough time keeping my suede Goodyear adidas clean and I've only used them twice LOL.

I'm off to look for alcantara!

Well I went down to Universal Auto Upholsty today and they couldn't give me a quote because the boss man wasn't there. They said 300 to lay down new carpet. I wonder how much the rest is gonna cost.

I guess I'll find out on thurs...

yeah they said 1200 for the seats done up in faux suede. 275 for grapite gray carpet, and 500 for the doors and rear panels. I dunno off the tp of my head what he said for the roof liner.

Ummm yeah I think he wants way too much for it.

Nice job with the two tone...it gives a great look to otherwise plain stock doors.
