hey guys, i'll be starting interior work on my s13 real soon and wanted to see if anyone has pics of their interiors, or other interiors of someone elses car. i saw one picture of a louis vuitton interior with the lv fabric on the arm rests, door card inserts, glove box, etc etc. i loved the way it looked and i want to see some pics if you guys have any.

also i'm new to interior work and upholstery and would appreciate if anyone could link me to some how-to's or any otehr sites with walk-throughs or any type of upholstery related websites.

I haven't done my 240 interior yet but when I do, it will be pleather bolsters/boxing with Ultrasuede inserts, door cards, and arm rest... I will also be recovering my dash and the door panels in the Italian pleather I am ordering soon.

As far as how-to's or links... I don't have any. Its all about practice. I already took Trim/Upholstery class here at WyoTech... our instructor was cool, but at the same time, each stitch had to be within 1/32nd of an inch on our comp stitching and seats...

The below seats are within 1/8" of an inch. The seats are for a member on the escort ZX2 boards (my other car is a ZX2)...

Old Mercedes seats for a customer at school. The headrests arent in the pics, I wish I had pics of the after of them, they turnt out amazing but were also hard.

people hookup escorts? haha, that's pretty cool, but how do you go about wrapping something like the arm rest or door card in suede or a cloth material
(i'm not doing vinyl, i'm a noob and i hear it's the hardest) do i spray with the glue in a can, stetch, remove all seems and hope for the best?
