so are you planning on glueing suede to your seats?,,, I wouldnt think that would work, the door panels are one thing they dont see any stress from flexing, but the seats I dont think will work...

looks good! I think dying your headliner and other gray parts will really set that interior off! Im not a big fan of the blue trim pieces but hey, its not my car!

Overall, it looks good, I like.

Black, Search Bonique. His car has it done.

I think the black will 'clean it up' a bit. With Gray plastic, black plastic, gray seats, blue suede, blue trim pieces, theres a lot going on, but if you make it ALL blue and black itll look sick

I think itll look awesome, and cost efficient also. You should make a DIY.

looks good! I got a question though, would leather be harder to work with? Looks like it could be a fun DIY one weekend.

they look pretty good. the only thing that i will point out is that i have used the 3M super 77 before when wrapping pieces and heat and humidity will make it pull away over time. if you can get some yellow upholstry contact cement, that is what i used and have not had any pulling away.

looks great though

You like blue, don't ya? lol

In all seriousness, it came out nicely and doesn't look out of place; I like it. But, the other blue stuff, I'm not so sure about...

wow nice looking work...I really like the way it looks. As far as the headliner, go with black I think blue would be too much. I want to change my headliner to black so im looking into that right now.

A DIY would be sweet...nice to know we can easily replace the suede if anything happens to it.
