Message	1 year and 4 days ago I posted about how I re-upholstered my interior with suede. My write-up is currently in the FAQ. I MESSED UP. If you've followed my write up and are happy with how you're new interior looks, I have bad news for you: It will fade. It WILL fade! Unless you used some crazy, super duper, ultra nova, ass kickin suede, it WILL fade... Mine held up relatively well, but where the sun beat down, the black turned to gray.. Unacceptable. If admin decides to delete that post I won't lose sleep. However, learning from my mistake and using almost the exact same technique, I did this with UV treated automotive leather. I also added 1/4" foam for a "plush" look... It looks weird with the flash for some reason. I'll post pics in the daylight if people want. It's actually almost a perfect black on black match. Again, I don't want people thinking they can just "redo" their interior with suede and it will last, because as I found out, it will not. As for the "A New Interior For Under 50 Bucks!!"; it doesn't exist.. I'm sorry if I lead anyone in the wrong direction.. -matt
