I think i have found a good source for black suede fabric. I intend at this point to redo my A and C pillars, the rear shelf and the headliner in the Alcantara. Im a little wary of the black being too dark and imposing and coffin-like, as my carpets and seats and dash are now a very dark blue (indigo, BMW calls it) but i am willing to take a bit of a chance as the material is 40% off today and tomorrow so i dont have much time to decide.
My major concerns that couldnt be adressed by searching are:
1) The material doesnt have a padded backing and it doesnt seems to be stretchable at all, how will i make this work with the various indentations in the headliner? (im assuming its possible since i read some passing mention of JonK having done his headliner in alcantara)
2) what will i do about the visors? they are grey/tan as it is now so it will look a bit strange to have them sitting against a black background.
3) what glue will i use to attach it with?
