Default Reupholstering

well the cloth that was over the center console in my car looked like poo, and i wanted to replace it. SOoooo i figured how hard could it be to reupholster? haha well it wasnt hard, went to walmart spent $1.83 on a yard of red suede fabric and did it, now i know the red is a crazy color but i like it and i think it looks good i want to know what yall think about it.

It looks like you did a good job on it..Are you planning on doing the rest of the interior in red as well?

Did you remove the old fabric? Because you have some nasty wrinkling there.

good lord you can see good to see that wrinkling haha, but yea its just on the sides, and no its not over the old fabric it was just hard as hell to get it on there and fold it down and stuff without wrinkling, the other side aint as bad cause after i did that side i figured out a way to get the wrinkling out more, but hey for my very first time, it aint bad.

and yes i plan to do the door panels in that red as well, and when i get seats if i get seats they will be red

If you can rent a suit steamer or something that will steam the fabric, you should be able to get it to stretch and sit in place without wrinkling.
