Headliner color change

it looks amazing every time I see full black interior, but what do you do about the seatbelt things ?

You can pull those pieces off and paint them too, I just rushed mine to finish before IA. I'll go back through and paint them black as soon as I want to even touch the car again.

Ooo I want to do this soon. Im a little worried though, I've never pulled the headliner off. Im guessing the small headliner piece to the sunroof is easy to do too?

Eeeehhhhhhh, I ended up removing mine... forcefully. For some reason the whole thing was really loose and made tons of rattling and buzzing sounds in the car, so I tore it out.

The headliner is a bitch to get out, especially if you have never removed it before.

Coming from the guy who's tore down probably every single piece of an ep.. kinda scares me

I just wouldn't want mis-matching roofing pieces. Kinda skeptical now. I wouldnt mind the a-b-c pillar vinyl pieces being black, Im not that particular on it.. but still. Maybe talon can toss up a DIY on this when he's doing it and be specific when he gets to this piece.

headliner is a breeze to take out if you know how to do it. My first time i struggeled with it for like an hour, second time i took one out i had it out in 5 min...mind you all the parts where already removed including the b-pillars (go scrap yard). I'm probably gonna write up a DIY when i go to install my headliner + the sunroof privacy cover. Now all i need is a day to rip some of my interior peices out.

Yup the first time is a bitch figuring out the procedure.


I looked into the cost of having the headliner reupholstered, oouuch! ! !

I could get the carbon cloth, epoxy and all consumables to vacuum bag a layer of Cf in place of the fabric for the same price, that would be cool, a carbon headliner!
