Default What to Suede....

not sure if this is gallery material but given the gallery has most looks on the site figured itd be my best bet..

Well, as you most know i have full alcantara (Faux suede) seats..

Been trying to come up w/ ideas as to what else to cover.....

BUT.. i want it to stay nice and not overdone..i.e. the steering wheel will remain oem, and all plastic pieces remain OEM..

so the car will still have the perforated section on wheel+perforated section on the door handle piece. and the "leather grain" on the dash/door panels and other interior panels.. so i want to add suede sparingly... just enough to make the seats feel included/oem but not overdo it.

my ideas are marked below A-E

choose what pieces to cover in suede..

if doesnt load im sorry please check back. my upload site is down about as much as its up



my current choices keeping with the idea to keep oem look. would be: A,and D only.. or maybe A,B and D.

what do you think

i keep thinking itd be so much easier to leave as is.. or maybe just do the boot..(very easy to do) and would mend the interior together.. but lemme see your ideas.

riley

its just:

A: Bitch.. to remove.. pain to put back.. especially to get 100% right
B: HARD, glued onto door.
C: ^same
D:EASY
E: easy, but this piece is hard to find to make template from.

so now you all know why this is hard decision
