Don't do it. Suede does not wear well on 'high traffic' areas. You'll end up rubbing it smooth and it'll look bad.

eyyy good idea man, i wanted to do the same. what u gotta do is buy some contact cement adhesive by dap. that stuff is loco, and a spray gun from harbor freight will do. fade does fade pretty bad, but if u have tinted windows n stuff you'll be fine. or use a product called microseal, i have never used it but i heard it works great.

i decided to go with a mix of black perforated vinyl; and suede for the interior, especially the vinyl on the arm rests. it cleans up nice homie. i hope this helps a lil!
