Hm....i looked at this again after helping my friend do door inserts on his RSX. I think I wanna do red suede on my car. How many nights/days/hours did this take?

 

Awesome, great job, it is always awesome to see someone do something original and creative with 10 hours time I wish I had the patience and care to do that.

didn't you use a synthetic?...how much does a polyester shrink in the cold?...

 

yes, its a synthetic suede, sorry i'm not a big baller and didn't go for the alconterra suede, but i found this stuff for $8/yard and was stoked on the charcoal grey.

thanks for all the props, now go and do it yourselves

*Note: you have to drill out the plastic studs which attach the door inserts to the door panels in order to completely remove them, so the inserts is not a job for the faint at heart, I recommend buying a plastic welding kit which you could probably find at any plastics supply store for reinstallation of the inserts, I just used a soldering iron(messy).*

 

I haven't had any issues with shrinkage (lol) in the heat, and I live in the SF valley, and for the wet issue just use some scotch guard. and its not real suede so water doesn't mess with too bad.

 

wow, that looks sweet! nice job, think I might try this.

 

Nice work!!!

I was looking into doing this with Alcantara fabric for better durability...
