Took apart the interior and planning on doing a black upper part of the car

what needs to be done
- roof
- sunvisors
- sun roof
- pillars

i was looking at suede but I want to go for that lambo material on everything without it looking tacky when you touch suede.

any opinions on other options to make it look great?

 

Hi, i wasnt going to comment but since you havent had any responses, i thought id try to help out.

I bought my evo with the interior done in black as you describe. However, it looks like everything was painted black, including the headliner.

The headliner doesnt feel great (kind of rough texture) but i like the way it looks. And over the years, there has been very little paint that has been rubbed off. Headliner, pillars, visors, and sunglass holder were all painted. I like it and looks good to me so i never changed it.

My suggestion is this: follow the theme of the interior which is already cheap looking. What i mean by that is make subtle changes that go with whats there. And if you can, experiment with something that removes easily incase you dont like it.

Ive never been a fan of modifying the interior of cars, but when done right, can make it look much better and clean even if its still cheap looking.

Hope that helps!

 

thanks for the response, I decided to wrap all the pieces with alcantara suede instead of painting everything.

 

Please post some pictures when it's all back together!!!

 

yea Alcantara is what i would've suggested, saw it on another Evo 9 that was based overseas, if i could find the pics now i owuld post it but lets see yours.

 

you got it!

i already spray painted the dim lights, sunroof button, visor clips, and sun visors. Looking for the suede online and need to get my mass loaded vinyl for the floor board

 

you dont see alot of super detailed evos and pics are hard to find. I plan on releasing a video on the car going over everything I did

 

I think this is what your looking to do.

i saw that thread but it looks like regular suede, I called around and people said the alcantara suede does not leave noticeable marks vs regular. That is what I was trying to prevent
