Thanks guys. I spent a lot of time on the door panels. You just have to be very patient, because if your are not it will get screwed up. The headliner I did in 3 hours (first time too), once you start doing it, it becomes easy.
Yeah the steering wheel is next, but i'm afraid the airbag will go off haha

-Cut the shape of the door
-Cut where you want the stitching
-Stitch it
-Once you have the layout you will need foam adhesive
-Oh one other thing, it can't be any ordinary thin suede, you will need a thick suede from any fabrics store
-If you have any problems with cuts you want to hide, just cut a piece of suede and foam it on top of it.
It can be very messy and if you get that foam stuff on you fingers, be careful not to get it on the suede
I tried the painted look too, but i wanted a little something more custom. But what I found out through many errors is that you really need to sand and layer the **** out of it (6-7 layers), as well as clear coating it to the max (4-5 layers)

Interesting, like the idea, just not a giant fan of the fabric. I'm going to have all my interior plastics wrapped in high quality vinyl (looks and feels like leather). I was going to do it myself but all the stitching and professional look I want is too much work for my lazy self lol. Just waiting for another dash to arrive and its going to the custom upholstery place... Props for DIY and being unique
