Project Suede

[j.hardstyle]

So I have been wanting to do this for a while...suede out my whole interior. I have hopped from car to car over the years, was going to do it to my Infiniti I30...opted not to, but finally found "THE" car I wanted to do this to.

1992 Infiniti Q45 (G50)
Interior is two tone brown and tan....gag.
Now I am suedeing all dash/trim/deck black and gray...swapping out black leather seats and black carpet.

Just started yesterday, here are some progress pics...some before/after and misc. small pieces I didnt really need "before" pics for. This is my first time doing something like this...it isnt perfect, but overall I think it turned out pretty damn good....let me know what you think!

Nicely done. Should make a huge aesthetic improvement.

Got the main portion of the dash done today, remainder of the center console and still working on the lower portion of the dash around the transmission tunnel.

Fast forward fast forward....Project Suede is finally complete.

Black carpet installed, new black leather seats installed....all suede complete and installed. President clock installed.....final product teaser:

I like that alot. What are your plans for the door panels?

[j.hardstyle]

I am getting black door panels from a member on here...still debating on whether I should wrap the lower portion of the black door panels with gray suede or leave it all black.

Too much of anything can be a bad thing.

I love suede as much as the next guy, but seeing the finished project, I dont know. It just seems too over the top. Personally I would have wrapped the main portion of the dash in nice black leather, then accented with suede.

But to each his own, I may not be a fan of the product per se, but I have to give you props on your execution. From the pictures, looks like you do some good work.

I like it a lot. Very nice work. New door panels should bring the whole car together. Well done.
