hey man, what happened to the black interior? other than the fact FL is still frickin hot... still man, I'm impressed. You showed me the pic of the seat frame you had pulled from the junkyard and have covered and that was tight, but those back seats are really lookin good man. Give me a call, I need a reason to tell Jeremy to go away :-D . He's visiting for the week and I'm sure he'll be around any damn chance he can get. Can't wait to see more pics, keep em comin!

What about synthetic suede? thats a shit ton cheaper...

yea real suede is outragously expensive. the synthetic is 30 a yeard...well 50 retail. it would be inpracticul to put real suede in a car....unless your a billionair lol. anway nobody can tell the diferance. still expensive either way tho. i used the polyester suede in my car. downside is its hard to clean and everyone seems to want to toutch it with there dirty ass fingures.....fockers!

possibly. my school has catalogs out the wazoo for wholsale automotice fabrics and the suede i got was the best quality for the price. when you say a roll you cant possible mean a 48in wide by 50foot roll(standard size for a full roll) how much material did u actually get?

What did you sign up for at wyotech very interested in doing up cars for a live interior exterior and systemsim in trim and upolstry rite now. then i take collision and refinishing. if you go to wyotech be prepared for some HARD work and spending alot of cash. each class is 7k and u have to take a minimum of 3 classes. its expensive but you learn alot in a short amount of time. its alot of work tho. 8 hour days of sewin the same line till you get it perfect.. it can be frustrating at times but there comitted to perfection and it defentally shows when you do your own work. ive ben in trim for about 2.5 months now and theres almost nothing i cant do with an interior. anything from reshaping seats into crazy shapes and sizes to full fiberglass interior. it was well worth my parents 20k haha.


btw i got my carpet done today (not a factory molded). i hada mold it by hand. as soon as i finish my driver seat i will post up more pictures. after that alls i have left is to dye some panels and my cars complete.
