    I love it, i am going to do the same thing to my car. I just haven't had time to buy the material, and mount it... I used to have a girlfriend for all that....

    Waterfall?

    What kind of suede is that, I called a place once and they were selling two different kinds...i didn't know what she was talking about.


    Slightly different Question , what are you going to do with upholstery?

    Cisco, the "waterfall" is the center dash area on the tC. That's what it is called.

    that looks awesome. i love it. The general color scheme for my car is black cherry pearl and orange to match the gauge lights. Im afraid that if i do the waterfall and the door panels orange it will be too bold, and come out looking lousy. How did you get the suede in? Did you do it, or was it a shop of some sort. If you did it, how did you do it.

    Looks nice, I may have to steel that idea too. But I would probably keep it black, is that too boring?

    Hopefully at some point this year my head liner will be done in black suede and the A,B, and C-Pillars will be suede flocked. 2morrow my Eiback ProKit Lowering Springs, Tokico Struts and Visor TV Screens are being installed. After those are done I am going to do 3 7'' PowerAcoustik TV screens flushed into the rear hatch and hit up MengMotorsports for a LED Gauge Cluster/HVAC Swap (Blue/White).
