Default BLACK SUEDE-ED UP *PICS* (anyone still running 56k?)

I went over to Dr_Isotope's house yesterday to have my interior wrapped in black suede. Good times.

What we wrapped:
- Headliner
- A/B/C Pillars
- Rear Hatch trim pieces
- Subwoofer box
- Center console Armrest

Still need to be wrapped (one day):
- Front and rear side pannels

Lots of mess, lots of work, lots of blood, lots of glue, lots of fun! haha

Pics:

Doctor Isotope's head has been replaced with a picture of Optimus Prime... just for fun.






Why yes.... those are the SRS Side Curtain Air bags and this can be done!




B-Pillars before suede


B-Pillars after suede




Headliner was a B*TCH!


Almost there....



FINISHED!






What do you guys think?

So is Dr Isotope Jewish like Optimus Prime?

Looks good. That's a lot of pieces to do. Was the material expensive?

I kind of like the black/grey contrast with the handles, dome light, all. I might go to an upholstrey shop and find out how much it would be to do the flip down visors.

The material was $12/yard. I purchased 7 yards and still had some material left over.

Doc hooked it up, I think he gave me a preferred customer discount haha. But if anyone wants this done, just PM Dr_Isotope and he'll let you know.

See, I knew Doc was Optimus Prime. People were saying he was Megatron. Couldn't be, he's a good guy! =P

Nice work guys!
