Don't care for the "zebra" look in the pics, need to brush all that fur one way. I'm sure it's nice in person.

The pictures make it look like it's rather badly wrinkled.

that is bad ***, I did this to my stealth R/T TT, and loved the look, been wanting to do this to my vette, because yes it does look a lot better in person, how many yards did you need of material to do this project and what type of glue did you use?

looks sweet. if everyone will look past the hand marks in the material you will see it looks great. I would like to do that to mine some day. It will look perfect if you do smooth it all out one direction with a towel/microfiber. I wouldnt do the rear ones, almost would be too much. Did you do the visors as well or no?

Looks good. I've been trying to find a new headliner. Mine was in terrible shape as you can see in my pics. I'm going to do Red suede on mine.

Okay,we need more info. How did you do it? That would really upgrade the entire dash and at the same time cut down on sun glare and reflections? I just did my radio bezel and arm rest console in black leather. I guess I should post some pics, it came out very good and I saved myself a good sum of money.

Yes, please post some pics because I am wanting to do something with leather in my car and not sure how to go about it.

The reason for the "zebra" marks are only to make it stand out in the picture. Really hard to get a shot showing the material. It took me aout two yards, but that also covered some pieces in my cayenne. I used permatex hea diner adhesive, just as good if not better than the 3m.

Looks Great. I have always thought the C5 would look good with the "upper" portion of the interior in suede and the lower, wrapped in a nice leather. You are proving me right.
