Default I haven't posted in ages, but I'm still tinkering with the xB...

A while back, I covered my headliner in dark blue crushed velvet. It was cheap, and it stretches well, so I was hard-pressed to go wrong with it. Naturally, my girlfriend thinks it's absurd and tacky, but while I was working on this, she was at a Depeche Mode concert; pots calling kettles black, etc.

I've also done that bit at the bottom of the center stack of the dash, and the interior panels that cover up the side-mirror bolts, but have not gotten around to pictures of those yet. All in all, I think it came out really well -- no sagging issues (we'll see how winter treats it, of course). That said, I have to do something with the pillars. I've debated covering those in fabric too, but painting is easier, blah blah blah. I don't know.

Naturally, there are pictures, thumbnailed for your protection:

Oooh, you should cover the pillars in black velvet! That would look great with the blue. Nice work on the headliner!

Thanks, guys. I know I need to do something with the pillars - black would probably be best, and fit in with my overall color scheme.

FWIW, that fabric was $5 or 6 per yard at Jo-Ann Fabrics, is 58" wide, and comes in a bunch of colors. Perfect for the xB!
