That would be something I would have to see in person to get a real feel for.

Well, this is just my opinion, but there is a reason no production car comes with suede on the wheel. It just wont wear well, and doesnt look right on the wheel anyway. |

As for the headliner, I'd need to see it in person to get a feel for the look. If it were a darker headliner, I'd definitely be all for it... |

I love it! I've always thought the light gray headliner in our cars seemed out of place in a black car and really only matched with the light gray interior. I'd do this in a heartbeat.
I assume you painted all of the plastic panels (lights, handles, etc.) in the headliner with black vinyl paint? |
