Default redoing the headliner...

After helping a friend redo his xb headliner with tweed im considering doing mine. How difficult is it to get fabric over the curves and edges and what not? I'm thinkin of doing a dark suede, i love how it looks in some of the other cars ive seen...

We did mine in black suede. The headliner is HARD, but can be done.

It was an xB headliner that we did in blue tweed so... There were a lot less curves to work around and what not.

also, i think if you find a material that is not that thick it will be easier to get it to wrap it around the edges n stuff since u can kinda strech it.
