I also did the same thing with my door cards and glove box. Instead of suede I used Gucci fabric sort of as a joke, but the black/grey actually turned out pretty good and a lot of people really like it (escpecially chicks).

I can almost guarantee you that the door panels will not last if you used 3M adhesive. No matter how well you applied it, no matter how much you used, the fabric WILL come off within a few months. It will either be on a really hot day (depending on where you live) or just because they are a high wear area.

Broadfield and I have been trying to figure out a remedy to this problem for a while. He can get a hold of industrial strength adhesive and it still comes off. The only solution that he has thought of is hand-stitching a seam through the suede like you would see on OEM leather or suede applications, but thats going to take some time and effort to make it work/look good.

All in all, Id seriously warn anbody that buys these panels from you that there is a good chance of the suede/fabric coming off. Im not trying to discredit your work or your abilities, Im just telling you from first hand experience. Hope this helps.
