Need Advice

[mbarnes]

thinking about going ahead and putting suede on the door panels, sunvisors, and headliner. need a little advice on what type is the best to use. real or fake, foam backed or not? also if anyone has any sites that offer it a decent price. the local shop told me to use foam backed and they wanted $50 per yard for fake suede, and $80 per yard for real suede. seems a little high to me, i think because im doing the work myself they tried to charge me a little more for the fabric. thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you have a Joanne's out there, but it is an arts and crafts store and that is where I got my suede... if you do have Joanne's, wait for them to have a sale because I got the real stuff for 10 bucks a yard during one of their sales.

You don't need foam backed fabric, but for sure get upholstery weight lined material (if you go Ultrasuede). I've gotten it for $17 a yard at discountfabricsusacorp.com

Do you think you could do just the 2 door inserts with one square yard? Ive been pondering this too

wow thats pretty cheap. ive got a buddy that runs a shop and was gonna do the seats doors and headliner for $700. which i thought was a pretty good deal.. but if its that cheap i might do it my self. hell i can mess it up a few times for $17 a yard..haha
