The suede headliner is awesome but I'm wondering the same thing especially if it is going to be the same color as the headliner. Something needs done though as the contrast between the suede and cheap dash material is too much

We use alot of suede when we do Aircraft interiors..ceilings mostly and sidewalls...I asked about the ultra suede as stay away from it...in a controlled atmosphere its great..a car? no so..stains easily and hard to clean..the oils from your finger tips is enuf to mess it up....never understood why they use it in a high use vehicle.....suede isnt cheep, if it was then you get what you pay for....
