the other plastic pieces int eh headliner / b pillar will be painted black, as well as the handle portion of the sunroof cover
the vinyl part of the sunroof cover will be removed, and in it's place i'd like to put something like black satin.
materials used-
1 gallon can of DAP contact cement (from home depot)
5 1/2 yards of blue suede (got it offa ebay)
bunch of 2" wide paint brushes (got a 36 pack of these from harbor freight for 10 bucks)
bunch of 1/2" #8 self tapping screws + washers (from home depot, to put door + rear panels back together)
time + patience

wrapping really wasnt all that difficult to tell you the truth. rip off the original material if present (headliner doesnt coincide with this) and if there's anything leftover, sand it off. once the surface is smooth and clean, lightly brush on the contact cement evenly. once the surface is covered completely, let the cement tack up.. lay the fabric over the piece, and push down on one edge to set it onto the piece. now you can stretch and pull the fabric to get it to fit the shape.
not hard stuff at all
