Who can do swade interior??
You should definitely do it in suede. I used Foam backed microfiber suede from YourAutoTrim.com. Its not real suede but it has the same appearance for only $16 a yard. Make sure to use hi-temp glue if you do it yourself so it doesn't peel off when it gets hot. Trust me i learned the hard way.
My first attempt with Carbon fiber Vinyl:

im iffy about the whole suede thing... if you have turbocharged ss seats though (they have suede in the inserts) maybe it wouldn't look so out of place in our cars. but recovering anything doesn't always come out looking good. IMO, if anything, cover the roof in something black, maybe a mesh material like stock, grey suedes just ugly lol
If you want to do suede why not pick up the foam backed automotive suede for the headliner
Suede Headliner (Foam Backed)
or here is the whole suede headliner kit including the glue

and the normal automotive suede for the doors or pillars
UNISUEDE - Automotive Suede
i would always use automotive grade in a car. Why take a chance on the cheap stuff you buy at the fabric store fading in the sun. You dont use much fabric and it isnt a job you want to have to redo later.
