My headliner is partialy done, and so are my B-pillars. I'm waiting on some things for my A and C.. and well.. I got something special for my doors planned.

Rockbrawler was a great help and I don't think I'd made near as much progress today with out him.

Thanks... Well this project was a combination effort between mike and myself... We aren't completely done, but we both feel that we have a professional and OEM look! We should have more pictures of the rear panel and a special door panels tomorrow!

Stay Tuned!

Their is no DYI write up... b/c we are doing this process by trial and error. But my advice would be "Measure Twice, Cut Once" and Be extremely patient and work slow.

I guess this would be a good time for me and try to wrap mine like that too, since all my panels are off. I have some nice red micro-suede I picked up at my local fabric store. Good work guys, looks very clean

haha...i don't mean to put down the material that we have already in our car. it's jus that the material on my seat got snagged on something early on so there's a lil tear. jus wish that it came with someone like suede or material like that. but for the price...can't beat it :D maybe when i'm done redoing my interior pieces i'll give you my cloth material...LoL.

Update: We got the rear panels completely done and installed back in the car... The front door panels are about 75% complete... Sorry no new pictures yet... But lean forward with your head up in anticipation. We should have everything complete and new pictures within a day or two!

I'm guessing tuesday for the final Installed pictures. I appologise if this seems like a thread just to build anticipation because we all know how frustrating it is when members do it. I think the only surprise is the doors, but I don't want to reveal anything until we're past the point of no return. Like RB Said previously, We're highly doubting that there will be a wright up because it's simply hit or miss unless you have alot of expierence.

Like I said before RB was a great help with this stage. Soon as I'm back from FL were going to tear his apart and dos something even more unique.

I'm still not done with the trim arround the monitor nor am I done with the wiring.. This was just to make iniatial fitments prior to actualy setting it in there.. I'm going to sand and repaint (least a couple more layers on the trim ring..) the wires have to be re soldered behid the screen and then the back needs to be treated.. I'll probably have them back in my car tomorrow (if not tonight..) I might not have power to the monitors for a day or so, due to wiring complications.

Looking good guys. Just have one question, did you guys take off the panels that have the fabric stapled on? By this I mean only the part with the stock fabric, cuz its glued to the back. Just wanted to know what your guys technique was.
