Default Suede Headliner

Well I saw it and then had to do it. I pulled the headliner, visors and recovered them in suede. It was a little scary at first but after starting it was not nearly as hard as I thought that it would be. Sorry for the bad pictures I will try and take some better ones and post them later. This was the only tan color in the interior before I installed the suede, and painted all the tan pieces black.

Really was not bad at all. I think it probably took about 4 hours or so, if I would have done it all in one sitting. But with my kids running around and all I kept getting interupted. The suede is black woven so it was actually pretty cheap. I went in expecting to pay about $50 for it but got lucky, it was on sale the day that I went in and I ended up only spending $22. The visors are probably the hardest part and they really were not that bad either. Its just scary pulling them apart since its just a big piece of cardboard.
