Anybody know of any good sources or have any good tips for re-upholstering an interior. I have never done it before so I figure if I buy 2 times as much as what I would need by the time I run out of material and adhesive I should have some sort of an idea on how to do it.

Personally I have never done this myself but if your really planning on doing this you might wanna actually look up a step by step DIY through yahoo. We dont have any in our section on this one..

If you do this at least you would know all the necessary tools you need, as well as the proper adhesives you should be using.

Interior suffers alot of wear and tear so make sure you do all this right the first time around.

katzskin (spelling?) normally does good work with that kinda stuff..

IMO, just go buy ALOT of black suede (high quality shit) and a ton of red thread for the stitching, and make your interior Type R replica.
