I found the biggest PITA was taking out the door clips and actually puting the damn door on !!! but overall, Thanks for this DIY it was awesome !

sweet thanks man ! i have a half a yard still left.
but heres how mine turned out, pics are ok.
Here's the only part i mest up, added too much adhesive and went through, anybody know a quick fix?

Here is a set similar to the one right above that I did for Noor.

[ZaidAmmari]

a lil differant type of suede, but very nice, really like the blue honda badge, matches it good, i might do that. also, off-topic question sry, but do sedans have the light around the key???

[RedFrost]

I'm pretty sure none of the civics do, it was part you had to order from Australia but you cant get them anymore?

If this is wrong someone point me in the right direction because I wanna install a red one.

[ZaidAmmari]

o i see, yea that would be cool. do u know how i can fix the adhesive that went through? see above pic.

[RedFrost]

Na there is no real fix for that man. You try and scrub it out it will just start tearing up the fabric. Change it out. I've done that for my car once and a few times on other's cars.

Does anyone have black interior with blue suede pics?

There is no way to fix it. You are gonna have to peel it off and get a new piece. When you apply adhesive make sure you wait 5 min before applying the fabric. The acetone in the glue needs to evaporate out of it or the glue will bleed through. I accidentally messed mine up the first time had to redo it for this reason. No biggy its a learning experience.

no quick fix its glue so by now its hard. only thing can do is R&R. i like it looks good i did mine red for my Si

[ZaidAmmari]

yea i figured, thanks anyway, but i mean you cant really tell, it is up at the top and the way the suede is, you cant tell unless you point it out, but overall i think i did good, thanks for the DIY.

Yeah, I'm thinking later on i'm going to redo the back pillars in black suede instead of the red. No way i'm getting into the sunroof again. Like the visors the way they are once I get the black piping on them. So probably just the back pillars in black and i'm good.

You did a good job but I don't like the red parts on the visors and sun roof. If it was black then it would be cool. just my opinion.
