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?

 

Look up ALCANTARA

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

 

+1 katzkin is great stuff, suede is very hard to keep clean.

 

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!

 

go to www.yourautotrim.com good people and will have what your looking for.

 

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...

 

genuine alcantera is super expensive.....make sure you bring a generously equipped checkbook

 

i always thought true alcantara is the reverse side of leather - treated

 

nope

alcantera is a synthetic fiber

 

Did they give you a price yet?

 

Dude just get Leather Bride Brix! Those are pimp.

 

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.

my door of my z

 

I have real alcantera. My interior ran me about 5000.00

 

That looks sooo hot. What material was used and are you sponsored by soundstream?

 

That looks nice, but isn't the compartment in the lower area covered up?

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

 

I just finished my suede interior... Doors, headliner, A, B, and C pillars.
Total cost: about 100 bucks including materials LOL!

Pics coming soon.

 

Yep did mine myself including the center console....went to a fabric store...bought up some end pieces of alcantara for cheap and have gotten nothing but compliments since...DIY FTW

 

Its not real. Real alcantara is 100.00+ a yard.
