So on my day off i needed something to do. so i decided to take some suede to the interior of my 06.

pics!







and some pics after gettin the boxes washed.



Next is the headliner.. soon as i find some damn time.

 

That is sweet!

 

Nicely done! You doing the headliner next boreing day off? lol

 

lol well, i cant get wide enough suede here in town, so as soon as i can find a place to get it, ill be ordering it. Until then, on my next boring day off ill finish all of the other grey panels in the car.

 

Awsome, suede looks nice. Get us some pics when your all done.

 

i kinda like the two-tone look. You have a nice curve to it at the top, so it doesn't look bad at all.

 

Nice Job....Can't wait to see the headliner done

 

Looks good, man. What did it cost you to get the materials in town?

 

it ended up being like 30 bucks for about 6 yards of it.. but i had a cupon for 50% off or whatever. it was 13 bucks a yard before the cupon. plus the glue so about 40 bucks. :D

 

Very nice I have to get a day off so I can do something like that as well.

 

Finished the middle pillars.. and it looks awesome!

 

that looks really good. Ive been trying to find a place here in town that sells suede but no luck.

 

You can find headliner material at almost any fabric store. They'll have a selection of colors, or at least they'll refer you to a website -- probably their company's -- to buy online. Try Joann Fabrics or similar. Here's the Joann site:

I haven't bought from this one, but here's another site:

The adhesive is special -- you want to get the 3M stuff that SPECIFICALLY says it's for headliners (many of the others work temporarily, but the heat kills 'em after a while). Some auto parts stores carry the good adhesive, and some fabric stores do, too.

 

Heres A couple of places for suede hides and splits:
The Leather Factory ,Tucson ,AZ.
brettunsvillage.com
Brettuns is pretty reasonable ,and they've never done me wrong

You might want to consider using an imitation suede so you can clean it, the upholstery suppliers carry a microfiber immatation suede that you would swear is the real thing , and it forms better , and is lighter and thinner, my wife and I did our dinning room chairs in it and it looks awesome and is very easy to work with and sew if necessary................
