FINALLY have some good pics of my suede headliner : ) [big pictures]
First couple are with the flash. The rest are without. The flash makes it look a bit different than it is.
Visor clips I had to repaint. They got scratched when putting the little covers on. Paint was not fully dry.
With flash, the hand marks are VERY visible.
In reality they are not and it looks more like this.
One of my panel clips broke off so the panel is not fitted properly. Still need to fix that. I masked off the original marking just a little bigger than they are. It worked well. Though it would be nice to just paint the whole thing and get some little vinyl sticker cut to use as a mask and then paint on the markings.
Right visor in black.
Left visor in black.
Factory seatbelt warning sticker I had to mask off. Didn't want to loose that!
C pilar. This was one of the hardest parts adn they came out awesome!
Grab handle pockets were also hard but they came out well also. Also a good shot of the weater stripping trim. That was fun.
This is the outer edge of the weather stripping trim. Check out that precision! NO glue or uncovered old fabric showing : )
I also covered the B pilars and painted the adjusters.
I had to make one fold in the suede in front of the sun roof control panel on each side of it. They are only noticeable if you look but they were neccessary.

I disagree. Several specialties, like Alpina, BMW-Motorsport and Audi S do the dark liners. If you smooth it and don't touch it it will look great. It's like the black car: when spotless it looks amazing, but a day after detailing it looks like **** because it shows everything.
