Depends on what you are wrapping..Just the headliner you need 3 yards to account for any screw ups....

Unfortunately I could not do the back panels! They are a biatch...phoenixtc took them to his upholstery guy and he wanted to charge $150 per side...Of course I said no way so I'am trying to figure out what I'am going to do with them....

I finally did my headliner and that is the same problem I ran into. I am holding off on the pillars until I can figure what to do with the back ones. Let me know if you figure out something.

^^^^No I fixed it...I didnt realize there were 2 groves on the original pillars down towards the bottom sides so I didn't cut them on the fabric...This caused the pillar to sit out too far causing it to bind the seatbelt up...Once the 2 little cutouts were made, they work like a champ...I must say you have a keen eye, nice spot!

The headliner took Randode approx 45min to an hour, but he's done (4) of them now...With you and a friend (definately a 2-person job so that it's done right) it will probably take a couple hours...The pillars took me awhile since I had already wrapped them in suede and then changed my mind and went with the CF....Once I got the hang of wrapping the pillars, I could wrap one in about 30 minutes...I was trying to be a perfectionist so I took my time on the rounded edges and corners...It's important not to rush it and you HAVE to let the spray glue sit on both pieces for atleast 5 to 10 minutes so that when you press them together they bond...If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me...I have recieved alot of PM's and have been able to help quite a few....

Unfortunately I don't really have any tips for you...The first pillar will probably turn out like garbage but that's how I learned and practiced what worked and what didn't work...Remember though, much of the pillar edges is covered by one thing or another...I have never ever done any work of this type and don't consider myself very handy when it comes to doing things...I would have usually had someone else do everything and pay the cost...I had fun doing this and learned a great deal...

^^^^^^^^^^Cool^^^^^^^^^^^^Let me know what you end up going with...If you don't have any of your interior painted I think the Quick Silver CF or the Overdrive Charcoal CF would look SHWEET...When you get your samples you will see what I'am talking about...

Yes, It stretches in one direstion if that makes any sense...Did you get your samples yet from the place I told you to try? If so, did you like them? If I was you, I would order from where I bought mine and have it shipped...I can confirm that the material I used from them was awesome, not sure about the shop you went to...Either way, good luck and don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions...Tim
