I can't think of any good search terms, so if someone could help me:

I'm looking for threads that have Alcantara/Suede headliners, and/or any other part of a Fiero interior. I think I've seen pictures before, but that was in the mall.

Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Does anybody make Suede/Alcantara headliner material? Or does it have to be a 2-step process with headliner first, then Suede glued to the headliner material?
Any other great sources for the material?

(obviously I prefer the synthetic stuff as the real one is hard to work with, wears easy, and is $$$)

ooo I like the pics.. Thank you..

Did you do this yourself, or did you get it done somewhere?
How long have you had it? Do you still like it? As much as I love the feel of suede, I'm afraid that I'll tire of it.
But it can't be that bad, as I see it's hugely popular on all exotics these days.

Research request:
I think I recalled someone selling a Fiero for quite a bit of money with Suede in it. Unfortunately it's hard to search the mall. Does anybody remember who it was? There were a few pictures, but none that specially showed the suede.

Its easy to make to DIY it , but sure u need some skills and some tools .
I did it this way : reinforce your headliner with epoxy or resin paint it to seal it and apply with a spray gun the glue to both parts let it dry as gluebox says it and pull it over where you want it , big parts need help from a buddy .
Sunvisors was a peace of cake , this you can do easy yourself and its good to make a test run for the big stuff !!!!! .
My suede leather is feak ,this stuff look like 1000000$ exotics but the coasts are bye Zero .

So hope this will help and I/ We like to see pics in future !!!!!!.

Greets,
Kai

Easy ,remove the screw from visor and pull the mounting part of , the rip the part of from the visor the gray sh** but do not destroy the carboard under it !.
Rip the gray tex stuff from carboard and copy the carboard to a new peace simular to the carboard , I got mine from the pencil and school stuff shop they have thick paper
stuff -carboard use the old one for sample in shop .
Then copy old to new ,fold it like the old one and make same method to glue .
Put the cloth over it let it dry . Then glue both sides like the old one together , look for exact lines .
I used hot glue !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope this help !!!!!!!!

Thanks Torch-Red. Yea, that's the reason I want to do Alcantara so bad...

I'm looking for a very light creme color and black.
