How come you didnt wrap all the panels in suede? It would flow better in your black interior When I did my headliner in Alacantra we did all the roof panels and the Vizors Dyed the cluster and mirror and ordered new clips and pads in black to finish it off. Also paint your overhead dome cluster and your rearview mirror it will flow better with the black seats. When I get home ill show you my pics

i prefer the all black. part of the problem with the two-toned look is you're using different materials. the black suede draws attention to the white vinyl when it's used side by side. and the suede is a higher quality material.

That's a great deal. If he wants to come out to Chicago, I'll use him!
I was asking where to get the suede cuz I'm needing some for my house and can't find a good source with a piece large enough to use for my project (~5x5ft piece).
Thanks, though
