nope looks like the entire door.





if you cut around the insert part and then put a wrapped insert piece over top that would be doable. the hard part is going to be at the front of the door near the top. going to be hard to do that without making a seam or having wrinkles. how well it can be done also has to do with how good yoru skill is. ive seen people take the easiest materiral on something like that and screw it up big time, suede isnt the easiest to work with, it doesnt stretch much and it shows any flaws. me personally, if your not that good i'd look at having a qualified shop do it.

Just about anything is possible to upholster. You just have to do it right.

Getting suede on there will require a lot of work, but it's doable. Hope you can stretch fabric.

well if you cheap out on the suede fabric. itll fade over time. i use faux suede on my headliner and rear deck. but those parts hardly see sun. where as the top part of the door would fade after a couple months possibly man. unless you use real suede. btw. faux suede stretches fairly well

Don't be afraid. Its something new and it'll never get done unless you just go out and do it or pay someone to.

worst that happens is your out $50 bucks and you have to have a pro do it. might as well try and learn, if you have a steamer (most people don't) it will strech allot more with steam.

Ive never done it before either but I tried it and it came out awesome. Get some 3M adhesive glue spray (comes out like spider webs) from your local parts store, some good scissors, a ruler, and a 6 pack. ....I just need to do my door panels now...here check it out

The passenger side door panel has a white lower half while the driver side doesnt. Am I right or am I seeing things?
