i re did the interior of my 99 monte carlo with about $30. 2 cans of white primer, 2 cans of fire red spray pain, 2 yrds of red viynl and hot glue. i start out by taking the fabric panels off and then tracing the design of the panel on the viynl giving about 1.5" to 2" of fabric around the design to allow for stretching. Then hot glue a bit in the dead center of the panel and then lay the cut vinyl design in place then just pull the vinyl's sides to make it tight then pull over the edge of the panel and hot glue the edge of the vinyl to the back of the panel. and then with the plastic pieces just remove prime and paint.

its actually two parts the door panel and then the lower one . But i took it off and took a jig saw and cut the two holes, it a factory 5 inch speaker and a tweeter there sounded like crap so i had to put a creative touch to it

What city are u in maybe we can do a car together. I get a lot of cars that need to be redone all the time. I'm in the process of redoing my rear deck, but I will be fiber glassing it with 4 mids, and two monitors and also the door panels all over again. let me know

I'm about to remodel the interior of my '89 Volvo 740 GL and I was wondering how many yards upholstery vinyl I would need to redo the seats?

I did this on my blazer and it's awesome! You can see it below.  I didn't sand it enough but it doesn't look bad.

this is really cool! I'm going to do it to my car soon. just wondering though, how much did you pay for the vinyl? I looked on ebay and i can get a yard for about 10 with 5 shipping, and that seems somewhat expensive. I might try going to a craft store that sells fabric tommorow.

You should take a picture of it to a shop and ask how much it would cost to have this done to your car. I think it'll make you feel pretty good. Nice job, I may consider something similar when i get a car.
