im not sure what type of fabric i used. i went to handcock fabrics and the old ladies helped me out in picking the best one. it has a texture to it tho, i think it kinda looks like a tweed material. but you should do it, it was way easy !

Looks good IMO. I should be doing something like this soon as the fabric parts on my door panels and the center console piece are worn.

I just tore apart the inside of my friends probe who did something like this and put red all over it. It looked amazing when he did it but about 14 years later the **** started to look like crap, of course he never took care of his car so it makes since. But this is a great idea, I think im going to do the same thing to my car when i get it, only a diff color, not wure what yet.

ya you just gotta take care of ur **** thats all. and i think they sell some UV protection spray that you can spray on the fabric so it wont fade or any thing, i think im going to pick some up for it.
