Damn, that looks nice. I'd keep mine black tho with that grayish center. Two-tone looks frickin sweet. No idea how you could get that done or where..sry man. Nice dream tho...

That is def something to look into if you have a black interior.

Suede is the best looking option IMO but interior work is tough for someone who has never done it before (speaking from experience). I did my headliner and it turned out ok and hasnt fallen down yet, just dont expect it to be perfect and I think you'll be happy with the results. As far as re-upholstering seats, I wouldnt even try it. Also, one of the things that makes that interior classy is the stitching, just glueing suede on top of existing panels wont pop quite as much.

theres no way to do that that if i messed up i can undo it and it would look stock right?

if the stock covering materials don't get messed you can put back to stock, but i would say if you try to start attaching suede and stuff is that you are basically committed to doing the suede.
i would say taking the stuff to an upholstering shop would proably be easiest, but you can disassemble the interior bits yourself and then put it back together yourself to help save some change, and just let them do the actual covering and stitching

look up mikey under the photographs section of the 2g forums. he had work done on his car, basically suede interior. he also had the seats redone, im pretty sure he used vinyl. its alot cheaper and easier to work with then leather. but like it was said, unless youre handy with sewing, get an upholstery shop to do it.
