Default 1st project of 2008...Can't have enough suede..

Haven't been around as much lately , been real busy with family stuff and a new career but the car is still transforiming as a new year enters. I have 3 major projects planned for this year.

1st was to finish off my interior. I decided to just suede all my panels out to complete the look.

All pieces were wrapped in Ultra Suede.

-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.
-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.

I should have all these pieces installed by next weekend. I also picked up a oem black carpet to be installed aswell cuz this aftermarket black carpet never sat well with me.

I have to give Tom at Royal Palm Auto Trim a shout out for sponsoring this project partially and making everything tight with no looseness on the suede. He really did do an amazing job getting into the curves and crevices that some of these parts had flawlessly.


Uninstalled trim pieces






Uninstalled Door panels and center console

The two tone scheme on the door panel adds a nice subtle touch. I've always admired your car and what you've done! Nice work Adrian!
