Suede materials for the car unisuede , texuede, etc

[captainobvious]

I'm looking into wrapping a few internal panels in the car with a suede material. More accurately, a poly microfiber that is like suede. I want a nice look and feel as well as durability and colorfast properties since they will be in the sun quite a bit.

I'm wondering if any of you have feedback and/or pics of materials you've used. I checked here http://www.yourautotrim.com/autbodclot.html
and they have several varieties. Not sure which type is best suited.


Thanks.

I'd really like to hear some opinions on this as well. I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Though I'd like to replace some of the trunk carpeting with it and maybe use if to replace the factory headliner.

I've never used their stuff, but I have heard nothing but rave reviews about them.

I think I'll order up some of the "Impression Suede" then and see how it goes. Fairly cheap considering...

If I had to use it, I would make sure it's bi-elastic... So it stretches in every direction.. Don't know if this is.. do you?

Not sure...Guess I'll find out!

This is what is in my car. http://www.syfabrics.com/View.aspx/U...Suede-/916/255 Looks good, but prolly won't do it again. Makes me crazy trying to keep it combed.

With the color of your car, and the wheels... why not a red Kevlar?



Balla right there...

Hahah that actually does look pretty badass, but I'm not sure if I'd still love it on large pieces. Something like that would look slick on the amp falso sloor cover pieces though to trim out the amps.

On both my Civic and recently my wife's Smart, JT used street suede from Keyston Brothers. Pretty happy with it.
