Suede

[bzinn 1]

It cost me $74 for the suede( 5 yards of material that was 58" wide off ebay)it is not ebony black,but more of an espresso black,but looks perfect for the Crimson colored car.

Spray glue was 6 cans at $13 a can.......

Clear coat for the plastic pieces was about $5
Touchup paint exterior color painted with airbrush about $6( the dome light and such,but I changed it to Black sand pearl today so add another $6

$8 for the airbag clips in the pillars


Job was started Saturday morning at 10am gutting car and took till 3 pm to get it all out......then I worked till about 1am
and have about 50 hours into the suede being installed into the pieces,I had one area I had to cut buy the front dome light,but it is covered by the sun visor.

I still have to paint the oh shit handles, the visor hangers,the coat hangers and two push in clips.

Also the visors them selves area going to be painted black with material dye,then replaced with 11" LCD visors at soem point this summer.

There is at least 3 6 packs of beer in this and one bottle of Vodka so add another $50.......

But upolstery shop wanted $1400 to do it and that did not include painting the plastic parts or material.......I am sure they could do better but really it came out really great......

there is a lot of cussing and oh crap why did i try to do this to my car as the parts if needing to be replaced from screw up are in the $1000 range........not for beginners....which i am at suede.
