    wrapped my A and C pillars in suede last night. A yard of suede (they didnt have the dark color) cost me $9. Have a ton left over... Looks like they came out ok, just need to trim them to size...

    So how did you go about wrapping the pillars in suede? Did you just use a spray adhesive or did you use some other method? I just can't see spray adhesive lasting very long... Reason I ask is that there are a few things I have been considering wrapping in suede in my car.

    Thanks

    3M has some spray adhesive called Hi-Strength 90. It will about hold your hand to your face permanently! the Super 77 is pretty good, but the 90 is Tony the Tiger!

    plus you can buy real spray on carpet adhesive from most flooring places. Ive even heard of people rolling on thinned construction adhesive - that stuff will bond anything

    EDIT:
    Oh and by the way duke, very nice work!

    Thanks, I did not even think about that. My buddy owns a carpet installation business so I can get that stuff for free! Good looking out!

    Kind of looks like a good size bolt in that left front tire. I'd hate to see that filter get a little too wet too.
