Default cover entire door panels in suede / alacantra - 98+ camaro

I have spare door panels that I want to use for a project.
They are beige cloth panels from 02 camaro.
Anyone has idea or if this can be done?

You need to be careful with suede, as the adhesive will want to bleed through. With leather, this is less of a concern. Also....suede is tougher to stretch/manipulate.

I am planning on covering my headliner and sun visors with a suede product that has a 1/8" foam backing from yourautotrim dot com. As far as the door panels, I could see someone using said product for the inserts, but not for the outer portions of the panel. Leather would be a much better product for that.

Try it out, and post some pics!!!
