Default Upholstery

Looking to redo my interior adn trying to find a place that i can purchase the interior pieces to do it my self. I know of companies like distinctive industries and TMI and specialize in classic upholstery but where can i find the interior for my 96 civic??? I know how to do the work but not very good with a sewing machine!!

go to a fabric store, run swade or felt, and the adhessive you can buy there i would go with a 3m but just about any will do....but with the felt it kind of ***** up after three months but you can take a facial razor and run it across the fabric

I'm also looking to do this on my 98 sedan, but will I have to take off the door panel to get the fabric part out or does it clip in somehow, or do I have to take it out at all?

yes you do, honda made the clips out of plastic, you can use and oversized drill bit and drill them out but be careful not to give it to much cause it will go through the panel, i have wrapped about 6 or seven sets for my friends
