The car on that site looks awful.

What color are your seats and dash pieces? Black suede could potentially look beautiful.

I was considering doing it myself but as it turns out it took hours just to get the headliner out of the car because it is one full piece so we needed to remove the windshield just to get it out to work on. After seeing that I decided that it makes more sense to just leave it to the professionals, but I have so much respect for anyone that has done custom suede work on their own. Anyone have any pictures of suede work that they have done or have had done to their car?
