that looks pretty bad ass, but unless you do the whole dash, its not gonna line up.

Looks pretty neat though but you need to do the rest of the dash to match.

thats sweet, very original.

after you do the dash maybe you could ad some 20 inch spinners some fuzzy dice in the mirror and call it a day.

it looks pretty good, dunno if i would've put it on the top of the door tho, doesn't the oil from skin and stuff really ruin in? that's why i've heard that ppl like to put it in places where people do not end up touching it a lot or it'll look pretty bad quickly.
what did you use to adhere the fabric to the door? Where did you get it from? i'm very interested as i wanna put some in my car in the summer too.
You should make a detailed DIY outlining the tools and procedures you used when you do the other door or other parts of the car

^^^ Agreed, personally I would have only done it where there is already leather, but that is me. Looks like it came out very nice though.

as far as putting it up top on the door i prolly shouldnt have done that your right, its gunna be a shiat load of work doing the dash, but thats what happens when you start a project with a beer in your hand...
i got the fabric from my local fabric store "fabric hut" . and put it all on with 3m headliner spray on adhesive.
Im gunna redo the door pocket cause i didnt like how it turned out.
and i dont hang my out the window or put it up top there i put it on the arm rest , i dont want my arm getting lopped off if i get T boned or something so the suede should hold up nice as it has all been treated and water proofed.



and there will be no 20's or dice kthx lol
