i got the seat covers off ebay, they were $20 a piece, theyre really hard to clean though, i want to make custom ones from vinyl or something (black and red with a custom patch in the middle with the dodge logo embrodered) but i dont have a pattern of the seat cover to work with, anyone know where i can get one? oh by the way you may need to do some modifing to get the covers to fit, i have to tie on the ribbon to make the cords long enough to go under the seats.

im getting ready to pull down my headliner tonight or tomorrow, and head to the fabric store to pic something out.

thanks for the comments, and feel free to steal the idea, i saw it online somewhere, some lowrider ram did it and i loved it.

I had the same problem with the seat covers.Kinda dumb the short cords that have no possibility to ever reach the plastic clip.When you do your headliner,make sure to strip off the old foam or it will eventually drop again.Its a little time consuming unless you have the right tools(which i didnt,lol).The biggest thing is to leave fabric overlap on the back side.Thats why the factory headliners sag,no lap.

thanks again

i cut it with a 24T blade in a cheap *** jigsaw, worked pretty well, then i just used a grinder on the edges and a wire brush to remove the burrs, but if you guys do it be very careful with the wire brush on the face, if you take off the mirror finish you cant get it back.

i tried it with 1/4" diamond plate before and it was way to thick so save yourself the trouble and just use the 16G aluminum diamond plate
