I removed myself. Not bad but take your time as there are lots of little hidden clips.

I ordered 5 yards total from yourautotrim. I ordered the black microsuede and bought a gallon of weldwood glue that I sprayed on.

I'm taking my time so I don't have an accurate figure. I'm not rushing through it.

Make sure you have steam available. Use a practice piece to learn how to do the concave areas and different curves. It takes a little time to figure out how to stretch and where to stretch to get it to lie properly.

For my first time I would give myself a B. I think I could do better a second time but it looks MUCH better than it did. I also wrapped the A, B and C pillars to match.

Nice! Thanks. Did you like the fabric? Does it come with backing?

I do like the fabric and it came with the foam backing attached.

It's not the same as real alcantara but it also doesn't have the same price tag.

Thanks for the tips and website. Do you have pictures?

Wish I could just use the same fabric but everyone says no. I might be trading it in and don't really want to spend the money on it.
