Nope, a seach might get something?
Apart from that I am planning on doing the 300zx of mine and to practice I was gonna get a old door or chair from the local wreckers for practice. I'm suggest practice before doing the real thing in your Celica. Fill me in what happens.

Shouldnt be too hard, the fabric peels off. I'd clean up underneath with alcohol or something and the just cut the suede to fit.... i have a door panel i'd sell if u wanna practice.

that pannel comes off. you could probobly put suede over it n glue it down then secure it on the back. should be fine that way.

that panel does not come off, which is what makes this process difficult. What i did was cut the fabric to fit as best i could and then covered the edge with a black cord to hide an imperfections. Looked really good at first but now the glue started not to hold as well and its starting to peel. Check out my profile for pics
