from my experiance doing auto interior(which isn't much by the way) you have to keep working with it, stretching and manipulating the fabric to do what you want(not to wrinkle) it's a pain in the butt esecially the head liner, but nice job for your first time and I like the color scheme

 

fuji, i didnt remove the headliner material, i just sprayed the adhesive to it and layed down the alova. the first time i did it, i started from the front dome light , working to the back. that didnt go to well.

i scoured the net looking at DIY to get an idea how people did theirs. on my second run, i just sprayed the entire headliner and layed down my material over the entire headliner. i started working from the center ( the split where the two openings where the moonroof meets), and worked my way from the center, outwards. i found that to be the most easiest.

thanks Beaumont, your right about it being a pain. at least now i know more now, than I did before. which will make it easy to fix my wrinkles and air pockets.

 

when i was doing my research i seen this one guy remove the fabric that was on there with Denatured Alcohol, check out this link

taking into consideration that you have no experience with mods like this, i think it came out pretty well.

props for the effort

 

^thanks mang i'm gonna take it back out tomorrow and hope to get the bad areas fixed.

..Dave bump for you

 

weak....







lol thanks for bumpin it so i could see it

 

How's it goin' Eujin? Get the air pockets worked out? You can do it!

 

WOW..very nice i also have been thinking of doin this..ifyou can do it i can do it..lol..but its just to damn cold here to attempt this now

 

so i ditched that red and black alova micro suede look alike,

here is a sneak peak at my headliner with its new fabric! Captain, your right, third times a charm :D its perfect this time around and i saved me a couple hundred bux in the meantime





its vibrant red fur! looks sweet as hell red for the headliner and black fur for the pillars. this material is soo much thicker than before, so the adhesive doesnt come thru the fabric. its coming together nicely

 

oh wow....yr turnin my crib into a pimp mobile!!!

 

anymore pics?

 

i'm in the process of cutting off the excess..had to stop and take a break to snack and drink :D the fumes are getting to my head

 

damn man. ur car is turning into a bloody polar bear =X ur a crazy ****!

 

Interesting choice...do you have to comb that?

Let's see some more pics!

 

trimmed the outside, time for the inside

 

so thats what the underside of the headliner looks like

 

Headliner is a PITA indeed! Pillars and most everything else is really simple. I finished mypillars in suede but I gave up on the headliner. Wrinkles were just too hard to get out... Im just gonna take my headliner and fabric to a pro so itll look perfect.

 

What are the painter's tape arrows for?

 

isnt that the truth?



it looks funky cuz i've been touching the fur all over so it looks all messy now :D i just need to cut out the rear and front dome lights and i'm done. i cant wait to install this tomorrow morning!!

my gf was having a girls party at my place, dont ask

 

Wow Eujin, that looks pretty damn good.
