what materials are good for interior - Toyota Yaris Forums

Duckywitbigfeetz · 07-29-2007, 09:39 PM

i am looking to cover all the Grey pieces or plastic with either leather or suede. (maybe microfiber/ fake suede) any one have any insight on previous installs i know suede dosen't stretch so it takes some time to work into the groves with out wrinkles. I'm really interested in leather but ive never worked with it does this material stretch even a little. and yes i can sew interior pieces if needed..

kinda thinking black leather with white stitching on a polar white hatch..

comments please....!!

leather doesn't stretch. at all you can steam it and it will be easier to work with. Basically if you come to a complicates curve you have to start making seems.

Suede would be pretty easy to do. The problem is everything kinda goes as a scheme so you would need to cover EVERYTHING.

well yea i was going to do basically all the grey plastic parts and paint little plastic trim peices like a flat black with matte clear coat (lil sheen basically dull would make match leather) remove sun visors and oh $h1T bars making roof look flatter.
