I have always wanted an all black interior so I ripped it all apart and did it. I never wrapped a headliner or pillars before so I learned a lot. I just need to address the visors and get the light up steering wheel controls and also address the dash trim that goes from left to right (gonna paint it brown).

I got rid of the OH ****! handles and installed my mic in the card holder. All tan plastics were done black. The seat belts are rubbing the black off on the guide but I can live with it. Also just threw a couple shots of the console and DD just to show the entire interior. Cost be about 70 bucks to do headliner and paint plastics.

Special thanks to g35Mass who got my steering wheel controls to work.

Looks excellent! Only thing I would have done differently is to get rid of the card holders, I've never used mine. But it looks like you made one of them functional by installing your mic (I assume for your bluetooth). I wish my interior was black, I would have done this already...haha. Nice work man, where did you get your suede from?

 

looks awesome, I'm in the middle of finishing mine up right now as well and I gotta question for you.

see that part that goes around the length of your sunroof, the trim ?

mine no matter how many times I paint it and let it dry, the paint doesn't seem to stick at all, it's all black yea but it ends up being really sticky and untouchable, I get black paint marks all over my hands.

I don't understand it as I'm using Krylon for plastics

also the passenger side roof handle is the same problem, really sticky... all the other plastic pieces are fine and the paint goes on normally.

i'm really stumped, how did you fix yours?

 

whoops, double post... darn wireless

 

No krylon LOL. Use sem brand "scuff and clean" and sem interior plastic paint. I believe its the color coat line. Ill post a pic of products when I get home for you.

Sem is the best can stuff and cleaning prep materials that are affordable.

 

That looks sweet microphone was a subtle nice addition.

 

looks awesome!
i want to do this so bad

 

you could also try using a flexible primer.

 

Looks really nice!

 

This is so sick. So did you use the same paint for all the parts? Looks like the headliner has a nice sublte charcoal color to it which matches great. How long did it take? Please do a write up when you have time!!!

 

looks great..good job

 

Well the card holder under the visor helps hold up the headliner plus the other side of the card holder is where the wire harness plugs in so I didnt want to chance it.

I got the suede from here http://www.distinctivefabric.com/fab...product=SUEDE2. I cant compare quality to anything because no one I know in RI that I know has done this. Im sure there is better but its good.

The headliner is black but I know it does not look like it in the pics. The paint on the center console is 2 stage (black base and clearcoat), all the plastic that was the dull tan was done with SEM interior paint. Took a while but I never did it before so I went slow. My guess is 15 hours? maybe... I don't keep track of time, I just work on it while the Red Sox are on the radio lol. As far as a write up its just basic disassemble, prep, paint, spray glue, wrap and reassemble.



Here are the products

 

Thanks, i was actually able to find a good write up/tips on the RSX site for whoever is interested, the way their pillars,etc connect can't be much different than ours id imagine

nice job man! I like how you mounted the microphone.....a lot of people opt for the flush mount option but doesn't realize their pickup suffer dramatically with the 360 degree receiver hidden. I did mine similarily between the A pillar and headliner, it picks up great.

 

Just pull they pop off easy or get yourself a set of plastic upholstery tools.


Gsedan yea I tried to angle toward where I talked. Got the idea from G35Mass thats how he did his.
