Reupholstered Door Cards Options

[korban]

The fabric at the top of my door cards was fraying and falling away, so I pulled them off and dismantled as much as I could.



From the back you can see where to undo the door handle.



From the front you can see that the material can have some overlap here.



I peeled off the old fabric and used it as a pattern on some cheap faux suede fabric I bought for NZ$6. I needed roughly 700 x 300mm to have plenty of overlap (I think actual dimensions were 650x220mm). The fabric was 1400mm wide so I only needed a 300mm strip of it.



Checking that the fabric fitted and tucked in correctly.



While holding it in place I folded half over so I could glue the center and work my way to the edges. I used some cheapo spray adhesive that dried too quickly, If I were to do it again I think 3M Spray 77 is the stuff to use. I used a flat head screw driver to work in the edges.

going for that STi look?

OMG, how did you know?!

The company I work for just bought an '07 STi 2.5L, damn it's fun to drive. But it has this factory feel to it with the trim and race seats that I wanted to emulate.

damn NICE AND CLEAN WORK! i wanted to be the first to bust out with this mod lol. oh well i havent been on this board for a long time maybe it was done wayy before i joined but i got some tricks up my sleeve, youd be seeing more of my car as soon as i get the ball rolling on my project, but right now my tight budget wont do me any good lol..

Heh, let me know what else you're thinking of doing and i'd be glad to beat you to it (I only did this recently anyways)
