Thinking about doing something fun for the interior. TMI dashes (as nice as they look are out of my price range). They do one with blue plaid.
So I got to thinking, the trim strip that goes by the vents, and the trim strips on the door panels….would there be a way to attach some fabric of my choice on there? Apparently I have Scottish in my blood, and I know there is a tartan with my family name. But not absolutely necessary- a standard blue plaid would suffice. My named tartan would have some reds as well as yellow in it with the blue so that coloring may not land well.
What would be the best way to glue fabric on the trim strips? I’m guessing the Silverado trim would be a better choice since it has a smooth surface- my Scottsdale has the textured black that would have to be sanded smooth.
Any thoughts for durability? I’d hate for it to peel after a year. Thanks in advance.
