Actually, Ultrasuede is available in about 100 colors and half a dozen "jungle" prints. I got tired of looking at my black interior after 10 years. Here's the Lambo interior I copied: |

Hey Ron,
About how much would the Ultrasuede run for just the steering wheel (outside hand gripping area)? Mine is getting worn. I don't like the idea of replacing it for a racing one and losing the airbag. If I could redress mine back up a little, I'd be much happier. ;) |

If I could redress mine back up a little, I'd be much happier. ;) It's really a pretty difficult job - much harder than it looks, but with some patience, a curved needle, a rotary hole punch and some good resin impregnated lacing cord it can be done.;) I think you'll find if you do the whole wheel it will be easier. Hey, if it's good enough for BMW's F1 team steering wheels.......... |
looks cracking!! how exactly did you do the centre console and other plastic area, just glue the material to it while stretching it around etc???
i can imagine the stitching areas being difficult but luckily im not going to do that bit :P |

Wow, that looks awesome. Surprisingly similar to the Lambo interior too. Very well done. I still woulda chosen a different color, but it looks really good.

Then I came down off my crack high. I gotta quit smokin' that stuff! The Dove Grey is a little darker than it looks in the pix and more "silver". I think a few shades darker would look awesome too. I would love to do an "ink blue" interior on a black car.... |
I wish I had enough patience to do something like that.

Man, that looks awesome. Good job!
|
Damn dude..looks pretty spiffy. I bet it looks a lot better in person. :)
|
Thanks Scrub - it's "like butt-ahh":D
|
Nice.
|
where can i get that fabric for my car?
preferrably in a indigo blue color.... |
Good creativity, but. The classyness of Suede clashes big time with the futuristic look of your silver dash/instrument cluster.
Might want to make a suede dash/instrument cluster too, that would be killer. lol. Then it would be a shag machine. ;) The colour of the Suede is also...meh. Little dull IMO, but whatever floats your boat.:) great job though!:cool: |

Little dull IMO, but whatever floats your boat.:) great job though!:cool: Don't you realize the value of the masculine Rustoleum hammered faux spray paint metallic finish against the soft and female 100% Polyester non-continuous filament fake suede? Like Fire and Ice! Juxtaposition man, juxtaposition! (did I spell that right?):D |
Just do a search through Yahoo! or any other web searching service for Ultrasuede. Shop around as prices vary greatly. I've seen it go for $65 sq.ft but as low as $40.

Looks great. I would pick another color myself, maybe red, and not on the center console but great job
|
Ron, have you done the headliner yet? Like to see pics of that, and how well the 'suede' handles the curves.
Also, can you take a pic of the rear bins, with the center divider removed? I want to see how you did the part covered by the bottom of the divider. Thanks! |
Excellent job Ron. It's obvious that you put in a ton of work getting all that done. I would have chosen a darker gray myself.
Anyway, congrats on a job well done. |
