My Full Suede Interior
That's a nice job they did. Mine is all black suede, but was not done by professionals. If anyone is going to attempt to do this I have two pieces of advice. Don't cheap out on the suede quality. The stuff that you get from hobby/fabric stores is not automotive quality and will fade very fast.
The hardest part is gluing the fabric properly. Professionals use what almost looks like an automotive paint gun to spray evenly. If you try and brush or spray can the glue on it will not be even and you will have spots that will eventually sag. Take your time stretching the fabric and making sure there are no bubbles caught under the suede. Think of it like tint or vinyl wrap. Bubbles can form underneath and are very difficult to get out.

The dash has some curvy to the stitch, but that was the first one he ever had to do and trust me it didn't look easy at all lol
This summer I'm doing the rear deck and that's probably the last piece I'll do.
