Has anybody tried gluing fabric on int. panels?
Has any one tried gluing a fabric over the plastic interior panels - like with a spray adhesive or contact cement? I've seen 3rdgen cars with factory carpet on the panels in the junk yard. Does anyone sell aftermarket int. panels ?

The Paddock sells precut carpet kits for interior panels. You will either need to call or order a catalog to see them as they dont have invantory posted on their site

I had to replace a panel that didn't have the factory carpet once. I cut a piece of carpet myself to the right size and used 3M spray adhesive.

You can get pleather at any GOOD fabric store. If you want to use carpet, make sure that you use non-backed carpet. I am going to start mine when I get my new seats. Going from Med. Beechwood to gray and black. I saw some good carpet (non-backed) at Wal-Mart the other day for 14.99. Not enuf to do the whole car, but enuf to do most of the panels in our cars. I was thinking of doing the headliner in pleather to look like the Audi.

As an alternative to gluing stuff to the panels, I've found they come up quite good (in a "different" sorta way) if you paint them with house paint.
Unless you guys in the US of A call it something different (forgive me, I don't know) I used a standart matt emultion in "sand" which is effectively beige. Will look better than red in a purple car methinks!
Just my .02, but it kinda gives them the look of a different material.
