    my $3.00 mod....

    got my interior (headliner,rear deck, door inserts, and A,B,C pillars) done in Black suede back in Feb..

    I then painted the overhead console and rear grab handles black to match..


    one of the things that has bugged me since is the door trim is still tan..




    so yesterday I bought a $3.00 bottle of black tennis shoe polish...





    I was a little worried it might not work, so I applied it to part of the molding that is hidden behind the dash/door trim
    applied it and waited about 2 hours for it to firmly dry..


    it doesn't come off.. the trim is some kind of felt material and it absorbed the shoe polish like a sponge..


    so I did all 4 doors..

    much much better..

    Wow, nice match. From the picture it looks like they were done out of the same material!

    If it is a polish and not a dye, be careful of it rubbing off on anything.

    doesn't seem too. it was a bottle of liquid black tennis shoe "shine and wax" got it at the grocery store.. KIWI brand.. it's not a paste, but a liquid, so probably a Dye as you said..

    I wet it with a spray bottle today to test it and wiped it with a cloth, nothing came off.. so the felt or whatever it is absorbed it well and it seems to be permanent


    and yeah it matches perfect..

    far as I know and can tell it doesn't.

    the 3 pillar covers were removed, the suede cut and stitched, then glued to the pillars covers.

    so there is no interference with the pop clips for the air bags..
    it's basically a cover that is glued with upholstery glue to the plastic.

    here are some more pics of my interior so you can see:
