Was there foam on the back of this material >?

If you're planning on doing this and want foam, I would advise to buy one with foam attached. Doing it in two steps will make it much more time consuming and leave more room for error. You also run the risk of glue seeping through the very thin material if you happen to use too much.

For my visors, grab handles, sunroof trim, and map lights I used whatever the interior/ cloth/ vinyl spray paint Advance Auto had in black. I think it was Duplicolor, idunno. You can't miss it at the store. It's holding up well but I may touch up the driver's grab handle here soon, I've put a few tiny chips in it. 

 

My 98 had light gray plastic trim above the hips on the inside but I avoided having to spray it black because I got that trim from a 99 XC which had all black.

 

My JoAnn Fabric headliner is still holding up after 2 years as well. I sprayed it with the big orange can. Can't remember what glue that was.

Do you remember how much fabric you used?  Need to do my sedan.

I believe it needs to be 60 inches wide. I bought 4 yards of it, definitely think I could have gotten away with 3. 

Bought it from this company. They have headliner suede with foam backing and the correct width. You just decide length. Cheap and looks amazing. The tan looks better than stock.

guys, what about the side pillar trim and plastic panels? i have been thinking of wrapping that in suede/suede-like material. i was thinking of applying that without foam backing, similar to the Carrera GT2 interiors... same rules apply? or nah... has anyone done that?

I say go for it! I was contemplating it also. I think 3m 90 would be the stuff to use on that as well.
