Default Suede Center Console???

Ok guys first of all what's up! My problem: can't find any suede center consoles to get Ideas from. If you guys have any info or pics of your leather or suede center console post them please. I ordered a deck from eclipse and it's coming in next week on the 9th, and I want to have my center console done by then. hopefully it looks great! Thanks!

um, I dont think anyone on here has done that before...probably for good reason, but it's your car and if you would like something like that go for it.

Are you kidding me? A suede center console would be awesome. I was thinking a black suede center console, and then wrap the rest of the dash in black leather. Definitely add a touch of luxury to the car.

You can cover anything that you want in suede.

If it were me, I would have the actual center console done in CF, and then have the passenger and driver side dash done in suede or alcantra.

thanks for the pics I really apreciate it, that's the same color of suede I bought for my Z I have the frost leather int. Since my center console is dark grey I guess it will go nice with it. Tomorrow monday I'll be taking my center console to the guy and then hopefully tuesday I Eclipse deck arrives. Wish me good luck. And thanks again.

I like the suede console..just not in the blue/white combo car..a little too overdone for my taste but not my car..Anyway, my local upholstery shop told me they cannot cover the visors in suede because they are heat sealed (melted together) in the back but I have seen numerous Z's that have suede visors on here. Seeing that it is possible, can anyone give me some information on how it is done or a link? I have searched on here but have come up with nothing...Thanks

i'm not any kind of expert when it comes to fabrics, but couldn't you just wrap the visors in whatever fabric you wanted? why do you need to get the material that's on there off?
