with mine, its even a little bit of a pain to adjust the extensions because they are at quite an angle. the only way to adjust them without the extension is to basically remove the coil

Time wise, tearing apart the whole headliner took about an hour and a half, since part of it was trial and error and we didn't know how to take some clips and stuff out. I think I only broke one clip out of the whole ordeal.

Enjoy.

kon - nice progress so far! cant wait to see updates!!!

Project completed today. And yes, I am fully aware that the front driver's and passenger's seat belt housings are still the OEM tan color. I wanted to keep them that way.

In all, this project was pretty easy to do. I should have done this a lot sooner. I'm going to go in and re-do the a-pillars and the vanity mirror bases. Originally, they are dyed and though the color looks really good, it is a bit more rough (in texture) then I would like it to be. So I'll be taking those back out in a week or so and taking it back to my friend's Grandpa's shop to have him wrap or re-upholster them with the same material as the headliner, so they stay soft.

Anyways, onto the finished pictures. Hope everyone is as pleased with the outcome as I am.

Black headliner is one of my favorite mods. Love mine. My seatbelt housings are also still tan.

Looks great, man.

Thanks Calvin! That means a lot to me, coming from. It is sad to hear that you want to part out and sell the car though.

I guess we all have to move on eventually.

hey son,
have you tried brushing the pieces that came out rough? i used dye on my front pillars and they were a little "hard" feeling after. i just took a stiff bristle brush to them and they got soft again.

The product is some crazy bs that Gabe mixed together. I don't know what it is exactly, it is a combination of a lot of stuff to make sure it sticks properly.

The headliner isn't wrapped. His grandpa removed the old tan headliner and completely re-upholstered the actual headliner board.

No Eric, I haven't tried that. I'll give it a shot tonight with one of my a-pillars. When you say "stiff" brush, do you just mean like a regular hard brush or a metal brush / steel wool / jagged sword?

Edit: And these last images are for Chris. This is right after the headliner was finished and right after I washed it.

haha please dont go busting out swords! i used a tough plastic bristled brush. something that you might use to clean tires or a bathroom brush (not that a man should know what that is)

It's bittersweet. And not official yet. Really depends on where I go to grad school (waiting to hear back now).

One thing I would suggest is wrapping your visors to cover up those warning labels. I also deleted my "oh ****" handles. Sooo much cleaner.
