From The Driver Seat
Installing suede isn't extremely difficult, but it does help to have experience in your corner. As we watched the crew at 714 Motorsports knock out the job, we were impressed with their effortless transitions from tear down to gluing, covering, cutting, sewing, and reinstalling. It's easy for us to see why the Europeans have been putting suede in their cars; it makes a huge difference. The effect is subtle yet custom, and flashy yet clean. If your headliner is old, or if your truck needs to be a little more luxurious, don't hesitate to upgrade it.
