Re-covered Sun visors to match headliner
I just did my headliner with suede... turned out alright but, as many of you experienced, the mis-matched sun visors didn't look proper. I looked all over the web but, could not find a solution I liked, those visors on the xk don't separate, and if I used the headliner material, the foam backing made it look too thick. Then I saw, on ebay an add for DECOIN self stick suede. It comes in all colors and the tan was a perfect match for my headliner. This stuff is awesome! but, have patience if it folds back it will stick to itself. Take a look at the pics... I am happy with them. I think this stuff will be used on many more projects! It comes from South Korea and with shipping cost me $30.00... and they ship FAST! I trust you can see the before and after... this stuff is as thin as skin and just as pliable... it worked perfect! What do you think?

Recovered sun visors
I guess my camera sort of exaggerates the look of the suede... no it isn't velvet. Now that I look at the photos, it does look very fuzzy... but in person it's just normal suede. As for the edges, I just sandwiched the visor with the material, pinching the edges together along the edge , forming a thin seam... then just trimming the excess as close as possible. No, I'm NOT doing the dash! ... lol. I've always been a "nut & bolts" guy... this was my first time doing anything to an interior.
