$50.00 is pretty cheap for all that synthetic suede.


BTW, I would love to see somebody do a lighter colored suede; a color that may match the OEM light gray.

Well i tried about 5 times to cover the visors myself and it just wasn't happening. In a last ditch attempt my g/f actually sliced it open covered to seperate sides in suede and glued it all back together. The stitching is basically for style, but it's so hard to get a needle through there that it will never be perfect.....so i'll probably end up using black stitching....

Not sure I like the stitching on the visors. Headliner isn't really my taste either unless my car was purely show. Headlights look good though, I'll give you that one.

The cabin actually feels quite a bit darker. I have some light tint on the back windows and no tint on the front side windows. I love the way it feels inside now though. I thought being all black would make it feel smaller, but it actually feels like I have more room on the inside (i'm sure that sounds crazy!)

I would just keep the visors out instead of the red stiching imo, besides that looks good and that is the next thing I am going to be doing, mine is painted right now.
