Louis Vuitton interior? Doable?
Been thinking about re-doing the roof in my vehicle in the Loui material, diamond stiched in white.
The pattern would be black on silver detailing.
This is for a JZS147 Aristo.

Anything is doable..that's a personal choice, not one we'd make for you. To me it says DUB..but that's merely MY opinion.

fair enough. DUB isnt really a style we have here in Australia. And i agree with you, but is up to how you pull if off, i believe that if the rest of the interior matches then it could look really good. Im thinking black doors with the factory aristo leather done in white on the doors, and front/rear seats done in black with white insert leather.

i agree with elpres, sounds more dub than anything. i dont mind it personally, but its not VIP.

i see it in vip mags fairly frequently.
my problem is 1) lv print is just straight up feminine and 2) unless you're cutting up legit lv goods it's lame.

I would class it as V.I.P not dub (whatever that is) because i have seen it in japanese VIP tuner magazines. As i live in Australia we get alot of jap parafanalia.
And BLKonBLK: Hell yea its femenine, but with a 12 second v.i.p cruiser, its like a bulldog chewing a wasp. so it could do with a little elegant, femenine touch. ;)

The interior and trunk are two area's where you can do anything you want.
With that being said, I don't like more then half of the interiors those guys/girls in Japan are doing. :shrug:

its definately doable. a friend of mine retrimmed part of his leather in his HSV Grange in LV Material, looks awesome too. the chicks will dig it too.

meh, one i dont care for LV material much. if i ever did a designer fabric id do a dark color gucci like black on black or maybe just maybe a tiny amount of burberry.
two, stitching over the material is going to be busy looking. unless you do a single diamond tuck stitch. then maybe. trust me i have a busy ceiling myself lol.
do what you feel, its your car. i do actually like the black silver white theme. especially if it matches the rest of the car.

What is V.I.P.? I know what "vip" is...but we're not talking about very important people here. I hope you aren't getting confused... It's "vip" as in sounds like whip, not "vee eye pee".

what does 'vip' (puts on wank japanese accent) stand for then? is it an abbreviation? what does it translate to in english?
And yes....... i understand what 'vip' is...... and it has nothing to do with phonetics..
Its a 'style' ;-)

If we don't correct you from the start, we're not doing our job. It's not a Japanese word, so there isn't a translation for it, but it isn't an acronym. It's just a word that defines a style.

I was close to doing a Coach interior for the hell of it, but instead opted for something else. When my interior gets done (if ever since someone is lagging.... damn family) i'll let you guys judge it, hate it, and love it hahahahaha Mike knows where it's going hahahahaha :innoutrofl2:
but any of those prints will beg for some other type of styling, just because it's done in Japan doesn't always translate as a good idea... i have yet to see one person here try on the spaceship look of that one red car in the magazines over in Japan.... anyone have a pic to add a visual? hahahaha

i dont think its dub at all. although i would not stitch my headliner with LV. i would do suede for headliners and diamond stitch little stuff like door panels, seats, and armrest. Just do a design, i think its a little tacky if you do fake stuff like that.
just make sure its a clean job. hope to see it come through =]
i see a lot of VIP cars do diamond stitch and its sick.

Diamond stitching..good, Loui as part of the car (and not your wallet or girls bag)..bad. At least to some of us anyhow. To me it just screams you're trying to floss some G-funk...not scream luxury.

It is certainly feasible. It is a question of how well it will be executed. I would recommend incorporating the material throughout the interior – not just the headliner. Personally, I like textures and colours to be complementary. Here, I am unsure if I could develop a taste for this particular style. However, it is your vehicle – do what you desire.

some like it, some hate it. some are whatevers. i'm one to hate it..
IMO, "designer" fabric loses the integrity that it is "designer". designer stuff is expensive for a reason, and it really isn't because it's handmade in italy or france, and it's really not about the material whether it's coated canvas (louis vuitton and burberry), jacquard (gucci) or ostrich, sea ray, shark skin, or whatever.. it's about the fact that it's made to be exclusive and available to the "elite" -- something that i would think would also apply to the vip style as well.
as they say, if you have to do it, do it in moderation. headliner may be a bit excessive, since there's quite a bit of it, but i think it would look half-decent on the door panels and/or neckpads. maybe the center arm rests or stuff like that. personally, i'm not a fan of faux-designer fabric in cars.. i'd rather have the louis keepall in the backseat than a faux-louis on the seat stitched in.

Yea, should have been more precise. Was thinking the sunroof section (material covering the glass. The sun visors in loui. In brown add gold. Then the rest of the roof in the same brown, with same gold in diamond stich. Def not something im putting any planning into, just looking for ideas. :)

i dont dislike the idea, but the fact that you wont be using authentic LV material (since you cant get authentic material) makes it so much less desirable. maybe thats just me.

i suppose i'm even more bothered by this because you keep typing it as loui and not louis. lol. that could just be me though.. it's the same along the lines of having an "infinity" g35. :slap:

To answer your question you must answer this one:
"Who are you trying to impress?"
If the answer is "the people on this board" then no, do not do it. If the answer is "moist, tight, vageenahs*" then yes, that would be a good idea.

Welcome to 2004
Seriously Its Your Car, Do What You Feel Is Right.
But With that being Said I had Louis Vuitton Interior
in My '87 Buick Regal Lowrider. Back In 2001,
Now Putting Any "REAL" Designer Hand Bag
Material as "Accents" Interior Inserts,
Is Very Old Like Dubs with Spinners,
and would Not be Considered Current on Any
Style of Car Even Donks Consider this as Old Steez
cause They Don't Even Ride Spinners Anymore... :smiley-rofl:
What Is Always New ???
Different Types of Leather,
I would Redo My Interior in Plush Black Full Grain Italian Leather.
I have seen many use Different Animals,
But I wouldn't Attempt This because
I want my Interior to be "Simply Luxurious".
Just Remember-
Its Your Car, Do what you Like.
I would Only Suggest Doing Upgrades that will Help
You Car Remain Timeless,
Try to Stay Away from Today's Fads
because they will Soon Fade Away.
And you will be Left with a Dated Car.
