Your suede looks very good.

One thing of note:
I had suede inserts in a set of leather seats for my STI and they WILL fade over time if you leave your car outside in the sun at all. While I loved the suede and the feel of it, my blue inserts started to turn purple from the "blued" leather process in about 8 months. (all leather starts a purplish blue before it is dyed). From what I could tell by talking to some interior guys, this is just how it is and why Alcantara and the other synthetic suedes have a market.

I hope you have a better quality suede that I did (or even better, a synthetic). If you are still planning on doing the seats, I would put a synthetic on them.

I'm not trying to bring your car down at all, just passing on a learning experience that I went through myself with real suede.

Nice dante! where did you get the suede from and how did you end up applying it (glue/staple?)?

Looks great. Adds some color to a drab interior.
