Default 1st project of 2008 complete...(Mucho Suede)

Finally got around to taking some pics of the latest and final interior upgrades with this car. I 1st off want to really thank Tom at Royal Palm Auto Trim who partially sponsored this project and I also want to thank John (Italian Lex) who spent his weekend crunching parts in and out of my interior with me, Than you very much.


The new parts that were added incase you hadn't seen the previous thread which I closed so it wouldn't get confusing were as follows-

-Wrapped the full dash in Black suede with French double stitching.
-Wrapped the dash glove box in black suede.
-Wrapped the steering wheel column in black suede.
-Wrapped the ingnition cover in black suede.
-Wrapped center console in black suede.
-Wrapped the dash under column in black suede.
-Rewrapped the armrest in black suede with double stitching to match up better.
-Wrapped the Lower B pilars in black suede to match the already black suede upper B pilars, A pillars, C pillars, headiner and rear deck.
-Wrapped all 4 door panels completely with black suede, blue suede inserts at the bottom to matc the seats and added the black leather upper inserts to match he seats.

1st the gutted pic:


All back together:


A couple more.

Taking it to another Level...

Blue and Cream has nothing on this...

These lyrics just popped into my head when I saw these pics...

I think that's a bit too much suede for me, it is executed quite nicely though

Interior looks great, how does all that suede hold up if it rains or something? Is it just pretreated?

+1 the fabric just makes the car look dirty overall even though its clean.

Well done
