Heh, can't say much about our cars but it might be a little easier. I've helped a buddy of mine with a Ford Ranger tweed over his interior and it was not easy at all. Panels where you have odd shapes and or pits are a pain in the ass to do. The end result was pretty good though and I totally dig it. The tweed interior seems to fit the mini truck crowd rater well as it is very common. I really haven't seen any import cars with a tweed interior. Most of the time for cars a vinyl and or leather coverings are the more opted for. As far as getting the tweed to stick to the panels. We made sure we cleaned all the panel really well. Cleaned most of them with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any grease, dirt etc. Then just used an Industral adhesive that we got at a local upholestry shop here in Vista. The tweed stuck really well and has been pretty resistant to heat. Didn't get any bubbles after the truck sat in the sun for a little.

Yup, thats where I get most all on my interior crap. From SEM paint,vinyl,tweed,glue,foam. That store kicks a$$. Man you are so close by then. Im in San Marcos not to far from that place. We'll have to meet up when you get stateside again. Toss back a couple of beers or something..
