i think i want to do this, and make my interior ALL black. heres what i would cover in suede for sure:
headliner, visors, A, B, and C pillars, side trim in the back, door panels (the outer part of the panel, and probably the inside of the little center storage part) and the dash. now, on the dash, im thinking of painting the airbag covers, etc (the whole middle part of the dash, around the gauges, etc) painting that gloss black, as well as the handle thing on the panels, the chrome door handles, the little tweeter grille things, the clock on the headliner, the gauge rings, the center of the steering wheel, and other little things to break it up (will have my body shop paint it so it looks professional)
what do you guys think?

 

That is not my cup of tea. I would say if you want some suede--- less is more. But your name is Pimpedout so I'm guessing you like over the top.

 

lol

 

black leather would be great imho... but it is special!!

To me, I would suede the headliner and the pilars. The rest I would go with black leather. The visors I would go with leather only to add a contrast.

 

I would just suede the headliner.....i wouldnt do much more

 

Don't forget the chain steering wheel.

 

Fuzzy Dice too

 

Hmm i really want to know where to ger burberry shift boot and e brake boot if any one knows?

 

lol i can see none of you like it.

oh well.

 

I dig the idea of suede....i just think i would refine it a little instead of doing it all over. Moderation is key.

Lots of places sell burberry fake fabric for interior stuff.....they sell it by the yard. I know a few people who have gotten there hands on some for custom interiors. Just google search

 

I did not think that this was "not liking the idea". You asked for suggestions and input and that is what I gave you. I would cover everything in black leather and create accents with the black suede(headliner, pillars, and maybe smaller pieces), but I would definitely do the doors, rear pannels, and other major pieces in leather.

 

i see where you're coming from.

my friend did his old school s10 in all black suede, i think it looks pretty nice.

 

that is horrible. I just had my interior done, total custom job. Black leather with blue suede insersts to match the car. got a suede shift & ebrake boot. I'll take pictures of it tomorrow.

 

The picture of that dash is frightening. Judicious use of alcantara (accents to a leather interior as some have suggested) is much better. But then again, you refer to an "old school" S-10, so maybe you like things over the top .

I have alcantara inserts in my seats and the headliner and visors are black alcantara, the pillars are carbon. The steering wheel will soon be replaced with a Sparco Carbon wheel.

Here is the requisite pic...

 

its not horrible, if you dont like it, its horrible.

im sure your's looks great though, i want to see pics

 

how do you remove the "handle" things on the panels, so you can suede the inside of the little storage compartment on the door (where the pic above has red suede)

 

Lol.....bright red and black contrasting interior is pretty over the top too

 

I don't know, I had Stitchcraft do my interior. I should add that the 37's are removed from the rear side windows now and the exterior is blacked out. Before I did that you could have said that my car was over the top too. Some still dislike the amount of carbon in the interior of my car . Being a cyclist I am addicted to carbon fiber. Racy not ricey to me.

To try to answer your question I would say that they removed the tabs on the reverse of the door handle ring forcibly (by cutting or some other method) they did replace them with small screws when reinstalling it. (I know from putting the exterior carbon door handles on.........more carbon! )

 

nice

 

I dont think "over the top" is a bad thing or insult......it just means it stands out. It's a different way of styling. Red on black isnt necessarily subtle

 

Absolutely.

 

Hey mini d I PM'd you.

 

Got it. Shot one right back at ya.

 

Got yours. By the way, I appreciate the info and your interior is Sick!
