    hmm. I dont know.. I think i could learn to like it...
    Very nice though. I really need to find some stretchy fabric for my rear parcel shelf. I tried with some cheap stuff that diddnt stretch very well and it turned out like junk.

    $80. plus hours of my ripping my panals apart.

    I also needed fabric that can strech for the B-pillar and the C-pillar, since those have some crazy angles - suede makes it look better then OEM - it streched perfectly but I dont think ill be doing that shelf tho ..

    Did you use alcantara or leather suede?

    looks very professional, but i would have gone with one shade lighter...and do the steering wheel while you're at it!
    If you don\'t do it properly, don\'t waste our time!!

    werd...it looks good, but I would have gone with a color similar to factory.

    I dont like light colored interiors at all. so I guess its just to my own taste.

    im doing the A-B-C pillars and all four panals for now, then next paycheck maybe ill get the seats doen at a shop, as for the steering wheel i dont even like the stock wheel so I may be replacing it for something else.

    I bought the materials at an upholstry store in Sacramento. its Micro-suede.

    I was at the upholstry shop and saw a nice grey micro-suede ... reminded me of your car!

    It will cost you around 60-80 for the materials and some LED taillights for my car as a payment for the installation!
