    Dying headliner?

    Is it possible to dye your headliner, like you dye various components of your interior? Maybe with the spray can fabric dye?

      they all looked like shit

        Jordan, do you still have those black headliners, or did you give up on them? I think it was on Max or Bf.c that I overheard rumblings about a desire for headliner kits.

        My mother claims she has the skill to make one out of black vinyl for me. Maybe this summer, but I dunno........ :roll:

            I would go with cloth over the vinyl. Thats how I did mine and I love it.

            Just my opinion

                I might make my headliner kits available again, but the problem before was lack of demand. No one understands just how much work goes into installing a headliner.

                All the glass, and half your interior must come out.
