Default DIY suede interior

I decided to tackle the DIY suede interior since my OEM grey interior was filthy as ****. So far i wrapped the headliner, A and C pillars, and the armrest. I also painted the the handles and visors black to math the suede. Next i will be using grey suede to do the seat inserts and the door cards.

I am not sure if I like that that much... Now the seats, those would be nice.

You know they make shampoo/cleaner for that sort of thing right? I dont like it personally, but it looks like you did a good job on the install/fab work.

i like it, good job on the install! nest you definatly need to do the sunroof shade though. How much was the suede per yard and how many yards did you need to use? was it hard to stretch to make it fit nicely?

yes it is actually very very dark black in person, I was trying to not make the flash go off but I had my cheap cannon camera and with the plash it gives it a purple tint

sunroof shade is out of the question in order to get it off you need to drop the whole sunroof assembly from inside the car : ( If your looking to to do this I have alot of suede and I'm selling it to people looking to do this. if youre interested let me know
