Default tc headliner

through searching i found a bunch of stuff for the xb, but iw as wondering if anyone has tried to redo the roof and pillars in the tc. Im thinking about putting in some suede. jsut wondering if anyone has had experience with this installation on the tc.

No expereince but it looks pretty straight forward on the removal and once taken out, the pieces should be easy to redo.

I want to try this. I really do not like the light grey color now. I want a black or charcoal suede or fake suede. I've seen them don in a civic, very clean looking and nice feel.

i heard it was a tedious process. and if its not done right the headliner could bend and then it would look rediculous. i thought about doin it a while ago but said F it. maybe when i get more money ill take it to a shop to do.

i went to a fabric store and they sold suede by the yard for a few bucks. probably not real, but it felt really nice. they actually carried the same stock headliner material too, but in different colors. that was only like 2 bucks a yard.

yeah i went to a shop to get it done and they told me that it would be real hard to use suede because of its thickness, it is difficult to get it to look good on places like corners and curves and plus the suede itseld was gonna cost a lot!
