Rbailey182 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 As above. I've been toying with the idea of re trimming my door cards in Alcantara/alcantara type material but there is one area of concern. I think the door card in general won't be too bad to do as it is fairly flat. My only concern would be the contoured area where the door meets the dash board. Has anyone on here attempted to do the door cards themselves and if so how was it to get that area spot on? I'm hoping to not have to put a joining line in it in order to get the material to sit properly. Any tips would also be gratefully welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo 300 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 For a really good result, the ends need to be made of separate pieces to the main body. You're likely to get wrinkles otherwise. You'll also need to strip the original vinyl covering off the doorcard without damaging the foam layer underneath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 As above, but I didn't remove the vinyl and its worked ok, did mine in one sheet was a pain in the butt and the door creases ain't great. Have a look in my build thread for pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMetal Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Not a big fan of the suede look but if you're curious theres an ebay seller that makes leather covers fro the 350z doors, the photos should give you an idea of the components you'd need. It's soemthing I'm going toa ttempt at some point as I have a cunning plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
