^^looks way better than the cheesy light gray plastic pillar covers and paper headliner huh?

The fun part is picking out any material you want to use, suede, leather, vinyl, and the different patterns/designs available.

The door inserts were a major biotch, me and my buddy decided to take apart the arm rest/window control part instead of trying to wrap them in place.....but, the problem is the abd plastic studs they use to attach those parts to the door panel have to be drilled out and then in reassembly have to be soddered back in place.....but, they don't always fit back because those parts had to be double wrapped to avoid seeing the waffle texture of the stock fabric. <-----if you use high quality thicker suede this problem can probably be avoided, or you can strip the stock fabric and refoam the arm rests, this is actually the correct way to do it, i was just too lazy to.

^can't remember, pick it up at Lowes, came in a pint container

werd to the wise, I used an oil-based product which reactivated the factory glue on the headliner and it started to pull the factory headliner down, so we had to pull the headliner out and do it again but this time we stripped the paper healiner so it would not peel down again<----should've done it in the first place

I wonder how will this hold up during the summer when its hot?

Wouldn't the suede shrink in the heat?

LOL! I have seen cows shrinking in the sun in summer...

But seriously, I think it will be ok. As long as you don't get the suede wet.
