Here's my headliner.





It's not suede, I went with tweed instead.

With the xB you need the material to be 54" wide or more. It does need to be somewhat stretchy but the xB headliner is pretty flat. If you do suede don't use real suede as it is very heard to stretch you want to use micro suede. Best bet is to figure out what color you want and get some samples of the material. I did this and it is what convinced me to go with the tweed over the suede, it just didn't look right in the suede. I ordered mine from here http://www.fabricresource.com/store/...=3787936.75889

damm now i definitely want to do this... you sprayed the A pillars and the rest of the pieces?
I'm assuming you did this yourself as well?

Like Brett said I did mine myself. It's not really that hard you just have to take your time and glue in small sections and make sure to stretch and lay each section. I can say that the material will really make a difference in how hard it is to do. I've also done a tC with black suede and it really sucked to work with. The suede has a lot less stretch to it and on a tC with it's heavy curves and dips it was really difficult.

Pillars are smoothed and painted and HL is wrapped in real suede.

Your interior looks absolutely sick. And I'm going to steal the body color painted pillars idea.
