It came out great..I may go for a darker color but it's not difficult it just takes a lot of patience and time to redo it here is a teaser picture.

Whats the general conscious ? Darker or keep this color ?

Enrique,
Man, you got too much times in your hands. I've always like the Alcantara interior look; great job! Are you going to do the whole interior? I think something darker will go a longer way.

I kinda like the contrast a bit. I'd need to see it from another angle or in person to really give it a thumbs up or down.

Cool project...MORE PICS!!!!

WILLIAMP is infamous around these parts
That is hot!

I have always wondered how that would look.

Does the current color match your interior a-pillar and headliner?

Looks good either way. With the external color of the car, the lighter color provides a nice contrast. Might be able to see that better with a wider shot (to see more of the outside of the car) or a shot from the driver's window?

Looks great as is, but I think darker may fit the car better. Detailed pics required - I want to do this too...

Thanks guys... I order 8 sample' colors, hopefully i'll get them in by the weekend. I agree I want a darker color but I do not want 100% black. I would like to get a dark charcoal gray color, like the headliner. Now that I have the base under the suede, it shouldn't be that hard to do : ) It only takes about 3 hours to do the job right!

Please take some pics during the process, I would be interested

in doing something like this. Would be curious what is involved.

Thanks.
