Default Pics of my newest mod (in progress now)

I'm in the middle of doing my newest mod right now but I thought I'd throw a couple pics up of the progress so far.

I decided to keep the piano black trim on the panel that surrounds the radio and climate controls, but to ditch it on the beltline trim. Last fall I covered my rear deck (below the rear windows) in black suede, and today I'm continuing that by doing the same suede trim on the beltline. So far it's coming out great and I love the look. Doing the back door trim now and then ripping the dash out again to do the dash trim pieces. This will be followed by the armrest, A/B/C pillars, and headliner at a later date.

Here's the rear deck (the sunlight makes it look lighter than it is - it's the same color as the door suede in the pics below):





And today's work so far on the front doors:





More pics will follow once the rest of the beltline is done, but for now I just wanted to put up a few pics - can't help it I've had mod fever for awhile now and finally I got some time today, so my 18s are back on the car, I'm doing the suede, and then the car is getting detailed. For the moment, I'm happy

Off to finish this now

Great job on the install! It looks great!
What do you use to attach the suede to the trims/panels?

Anyway, you should do suede inserts on your seats too!

Thanks man Rear door trims are done now, and in a few minutes I'll do the dash as well. I do plan on two-tone, two-material seat reskins in the future as well (black leather bolsters, headrests, and backings, and suede centers) but that's a bit in the future still. That'll be the last part I do - it'll tie it all in.

I'm using 3M spray adhesive to do the adhering - the stuff is expensive as hell ($14 for a spray can) but it's worth its weight in pre-market-crash gold - works amazingly.
