I know a place that wraps interior pieces like headliners, door pannels, seats, trunks, anything! It's in Jersey though, they are calles Normans Auto glass and upolstry.

They are the ones who did my full Bride interior.

No, but we can put a "do not slide little PP's through headrest" on your seat.

You just need black Suede? If so, how many yards? I have around 1.5 yards at my house but it is somewhat wrinkled b/c its near the end of the roll where it is wrapped tighter... Ill take a pic if interested, I got it for $32 a yard, I could sell the 1.5 to you for $40 shipped...

I got it at school (WyoTech) in upholstery class from Three Rivers Supply company...

Three Rivers Supply Company
477 W. 7th Avenue
West Homestead, PA 15120
(412)462-3900

Give them a call, they are one of the larger fabric/trim/upholstery dealers that I know of (and that the teachers and WyoTech uses).

You could also search for Alcantara. It is similar to Suede, but softer... My headliner is covered in Alcantara and I love it. A few companies cover their seats in Alcantara...

Alcantara's website : http://www.alcantara.com/

Just an idea.

(Man I need to get a sewing machine so I can make some side money LOL)

There's Joann's everywhere, warminster, southampton, oxford valley... There's also the rag shop in warminster too. Also on Jacksonville Rd in Hatboro there's a upholstery shop, you may be able to buy material from them, not sure though.
