thats kinda funny but i wanted to put suade on that trim peice because the seats area already in suade, plus it doesn't look bad in my opinion... but just so we are clear, i'm not going to make the entire car in suade just the area that is in cloth where the door handel is will be suade and this center trim, the rest of the trim i am planning to CF it ;] well in any case i can't really say anything untill its done so lets hope it turns out ok!

Nice job doing it but I don't think it matches the style of car we drive howevere I respect your taste. I give you credit for the skills though.

I'm with you 100%. I absolutely love the suede look. For those of you who don't know, factory Ferrari Challenge cars come with fully suede dashboards. I think it looks *****in!

Ive actually thought of doing this for a while. Is that real suede or faux-alcantara?

Are you using spray adhesive?

yeah its real micro-suade... (to be precise i guess it would be correct to point out that Alcantara is the name of the company that makes very expenssive micro-suede, but the material itself is actually called Micro-Suede (i have learned this through personal experiance ;P)) the cloth is a sythetic type of suede, which is the only one you can use in cars since the real suede would eventualy degrade with time. I promiss i will post the pics of the part installed soon and do a how to section where i will post the pictures of the glue and the material, along with all the info i have learned so far, which is not to say that i am not open to any suggestions or any other relevant information... for now be a little more patiant and i will post the pictures up soon ;D
