camo interior in my tahoe***pics***

[ilikeitloud]

I'm new to the forum. I just purchased a 95 4 door tahoe 5 months ago, within 2 months i decided to redo the interior. I'm a huge fan of camo all kinds doesnt really matter to me.. For my truck I went with advantage camo because it fits the stock interior colors the best and personally I love the look. This was my first attempt at any interior "modding" and I think it turned quite well. here are some pics

Hey man my hats off to u that freakin awesome!!!!

[Gerald]

What type of material did you use? Fabric or camo clad?

Clean job man! I love doing camo interiors.

[shaddow]

Im not a big fan of camo but that looks sweet.

[ilikeitloud]

Thanks for all the awesome comments dudes!!! I don't have a write up on this project. I spent a little over a weekend on the entire thing. Most of the time it was waiting for the contact cement to dry.

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/2/web/374000-374999/374724_236_full.jpg how did you remove the carpet no the lower door panel and what did you use to get the camo to stick there and on the headliner

Looks great....very clean too

[RaiN]

I did my door panels that way too. Did you spray adhesive over top of the factory material and stretch the fabric around and tuck it behind the factory stuff to hold it in?

[Ronmc1954]

I am lovin it!!!!!!! The only thing the wife let me camo was the steering wheel :-) Yours looks great

[Jose99]

Nice!!! How is your panel on the top piece? Does it come off? Or is it glued to the door panel?

[Marine_SGT]

I'm not into the camo look, but yours does look good. Good job!

[GCncsuHD]

looks awesome, where did you get the material?

[SAND_LIZZARD]

that would look good w/ my bigsky gun rack awesome!!!!!!!!

[thekl0wn]

Do you know how many redneck stiffies you've caused this forum? I don't like the camo idea, but it looks dayum good on your interior! Good job! :10:

[Sweet Tea Man]

i'll be honest, when opening this thread i was scared of what i was going to see. but looks really good dude. it goes really well with the tan interior. i give ya athumbs up

[steinfire]

its is just held in with plastic clips....you will have to take the door panel off then pus then out from the back, they should go back in if you didn't break them off

here is what the back of the insert looks like

mine halfway finished.....still need to do the lower part

could you tell us how you removed the lower carpet and what you used to hold the new material on with

[Jose99]

Yeah,that's what I was afraid of because i saw your tread before and I already tried that on mine but I just did the bottom part, my upper part is glued to the door panel so i think I'm just going to try my best with it. Thanks and u did a great job un yours, I'll post pics of mine ASAP.

When I had my panel off I saw no way in hell to get carpet off the bottom door panel. I said f*ck it and laid a boat load of contact cement down over the existing carpet and tried to roll it down as much as I could. Then I just laid the camo over it with more contact cement. It turned out quite well and is fairly smooth. Since the camo is so "busy" you can't really tell of any imperfections plus you never feel down there anyways and its not going to be a show truck so it doesn't matter to me atleast.

[thekl0wn]

Any suggestions for reattaching one of those little white plastic clips? :dunno:

[steinfire]

superglue.....or something like that. I don't know if the dealer sells the clips but there are about 10 or so clips back there so having one missing should not hurt anything :dunno:

Missing the two on the tip may hurt me though! :slap: I might check to see what they cost at the stealership. (the entire peice)

[txhardhittaz]

looks cool

[Jose99]

On the bottom part I just yanked out of the way, I figured if I'm going to put suede on top of it it might look bad with the carpet on the bottom. So grab some pliers and yank on it as much as you can.

[Black06]

now you need to let a wild cougar loose in there! lol.... ricky bobby

["Big Daddy" MudBug]

Turned out very good. I like it. Matches very well. Good job!

[all jacked up]

Looks great

[rwood803]

So what type of cement did you use? And what type of material. I got a tan interior in my 97 z71, and something like this would look sweet!

[gettn r done]

Looks nice I was thinkin bout doin that myself. I was gonna go mossy oak, dark so it will stand out a little more.

[HHH]

i'll be honest, when opening this thread i was scared of what i was going to see. but looks really good dude. it goes really well with the tan interior. i give ya athumbs up

Same here.. Looks really good..:worship:

[ciffer]

looks awesome, very clean job, i like a lot

[sbw]

I personally wouldn't have used camo but, other than that you did a nice job. I might have to redo my truck now.

[TampaCCSB]

Now you just need this! http://i8.ebayimg.com/06/i/08/fc/e9/85_3.JPG

[NoSelfEsteem]

That is uh, interesting...I would never bash it as I can appreciate the effort you put in and I certainly have never seen that before so Bravo...on another note, I feel compelled to send you a pair of Marine Digital Fatigues!!!!

[ChevroletZ71]

man I wont bash it at all..actaully..im going to do the exact same thing to my 2001 Silverado.

I've got tan interior too, so I have to ask, where did you get that fabric?

[RassyMX]

Same here, ive tossed around the idea and I may try and do this in my 99.

[rolrdz]

nice work came out great, i would like to do that to my taho where did you get the fabric and the glue

[ilikeitloud]

Damn.... I haven't been on here in awhile. Thanks for all the great feedback!! I really didn't expect it. I used regular old contact cement found at home depot and pretty much any hardware store. As far as the fabric goes, I picked it up at this wholesale discount fabric store where they have pretty much ANY type of fabric you could want. They don't have an internet site and I have yet to find a shop that carries this kind of camo. BUT for anyone seriously wanting the stuff I could make a special trip back there and pick some up and send it out!! let me know. I apologize for the late response... thanks again

Looks great. I'm not a big fan of the camo look, but yours came out very nice.

[Motley aka Yeti]

ilikeitloud, i know this thread is old but i'm looking into doing this to my 98'. i've been talking to a few other guys that have done it and they say the door panels are a piece of cake. but i'm worried about the headliner. i know a lot of guys just cover their existing headliner material with the new camo, but my headliner is already sagging so i want to take it off and put the new camo on. should i try and salvage my old foam or just buy a material with the the foam backing? and also what grade adhesive did you use on the headliner and have you had any sagging issues? thanks man

[BORDERBUM]

wow nice job, old thread, but I need to do this to one of mine!! wow!

[moreno13]

i want to do this to my 94
