Here are a few pictures of how my interior looks after attaching suede to the A-pillars, knee bolster, glove box, shift boot, and center console. FYI this is not perfect, but I did my best, and I think it turned out awesome!
I didn't want to go too overboard with the suede or else it will look tacky. Everything else will be left as is.
I will be making ABS door panels soon!

@Stingroo Thanks, man! I purchased the material from Joanns. The fabric is “Ember Faux Suede” and the adhesive is the Loctite High Performance Spray Adhesive. I purchased the material using a coupon, and it came out to $11.50 for 2 yards! Which is plenty! I still have leftover material to apply on my dashboard if I want to.
It's really easy to apply! The only part I had trouble with was the glove box. Let me know if you have more questions!

No, I don't, haha! They always have coupons available so check their website. They also changed the name of the material. It is called strech faux now. Here is a screenshot of the item number.
Looking Good, and now it is making me wanting all of my interior parts to be completed so i can begin the interior re-do on my Z06. Blue Alcantara door panel is below, doing a full "Mod Blue" interior and using C7 Competition seats as well. I will post once the process begins. Good luck with your build!

That looks sweet! Please post pictures of the process or when you are finished!

I think it looks really good on the A-pillar and lower trim prices like under the steering wheel, glove box area, etc.
l'll be honest- I think it looks tacky/doesn't belong on the center console.
But this is a great idea and thanks for sharing the materials and technique with us- I might end up doing this to select interior pieces at some point.

I originally only did the knee bolster, A-pillars, and glove box, but my center console was starting to fade and peel, so I decided to put fabric on it to look a little better. The armrest is still leather so it has a nice contrast to it.
I agree the center console didn't turn out as planned but it still looks good, in my opinion.
The door panels on the bottom part with suede will look, killer! I would have done that as well, but I am making ABS door panels.
I finally got around to making my ABS door panel and I didn't like how it turned out. So, I decided to go with plan B and that was to wrap my door panels!
If anyone is going to wrap theirs, I have a fast and easy way of doing it, and it doesn't involve taking the door panel apart!
Here are some pictures:
