I think I may be suede crazy!!!
Well I learned my lesson on Joanne fabrics and sunlight...my A-pillars will be redone professionally with alcantra as will the shift boot since it is not the right color. I will also be getting my Nazar door pods wrapped in suede and the sunvisors will be stitched up as well.
I did everything myself but somethings I will let the pro's do. Since they are doing the visors anyways which requires sewing it was pretty cheap for them to make a shiftboot and rewrap my A-pillars which faded in 4 months!!!!
I did the headliner today which took about 3 hours from removal to reinstall. It took 2 cans of 3M adhesive and 2 cans of flat black vynal paint for the plastics
Lastly I left my nice camera at my girls house so these headliner shots are on my old A40 Canon
The Car
the headliner
ahh back to the good camera
Sub
Pillar
Shifter
Once all the finishing touches are done I will have some nice proffessional pics taken
I have wheels coming up next and well and the final suede work...and some special seats as well! Was gonna go turbo but I thought I would just finish the interior and exterior and be done with it.

I paid 75 in ultrasuede materials....60% off that day. That was enough to do the headliner, sub box (front and back), pillars, and I still have enough left to do the door pods as well
sheit I even have enough to suede the plastics on the hatch when you lift it.....but I think that will be too much....what do you guys think???
4 total cans of 3m adhesive spray 40 bucks

Mang, if I had skills like that...I'd wrap my entire interior with that stuff!

thanks for the compliments guys.
Interior work can be slow and tedious...but if you take your time and start from the center out you really can't mess up that bad. plus its nice to do it yourself and save that money to better things like wheels and turbos or mortgage payments

yup, it goes right over the factory material and doesnt show any texture what so ever. I was tempted to staple in some felt to give it an extra soft feel (kind of like carpet padding). but I just went with wrapping the oem material instead...much easier that wrapping the sub box.

Skills and *****! That's what it takes!
Someone, please, teach me to do this stuff so I can start pimping out my interior?
