Default Replacing Headliner

I was thinking of replacing my grey headliner to a black one. Has anyone done this? Just wondering if it is a hard thing to do, if possible at all.

Well, I've never replaced mine, but I have had parts of it pulled down. Can't imagine it would be that tough....It is one large foam lined piece, as you can see in these pics....

Yeah, I don't think it would be that hard. What I really would like it a black leather liner but not sure if that is available, although a custom shop I am sure would do it for a pretty penny.

BRO. This is so easy and you can wrap it with whatever you want. Check out this write up:

You can use leather in place of suede.

Thanks for the write up link. Will hit Joanne's fabrics today and see what they have.
I think I will start with the headliner and see how that looks before I move on to other stuff. I was thinking of painting the other grey accents but covering them in something like this might be better.

Thanks, I went way overboard with it back then lol.. but the headliner is awesome. You can find some other small accents to tie it all together.

07BlackGT, I got the liner, went with a black leather looking thing, $19 for the whole thing. I have everything out and ready to start laying the new liner down but I do have a question for you, do you start in the front and work your way back? Also, the holes for visors, and light console, etc, at what stage did you cut them out, once it had all dried? I am sure I will have more questions later, lol.

Kick *** man!! If I remember correctly, I think we actually started in the middle and worked our way back.. then worked from the middle to the front. You can probably do it whichever way you want. I think we let it dry for a few minutes before cutting the holes out.. it shouldn't take long to dry enough.

BTW, that leather may be heavier than the suede is, so you'll probably need to use a pretty good amount of glue.
