Glad I could help push some of you along. I can help with the paint process and headliner wrapping (tips and tricks) if anyone wants to tackle it as a project in the future.

Also there is a diy over on dt for the headliner that I found the day AFTER I did it all lol. Should be helpful for those of you on the fence about this

They are just tucked. The entire sunvisor comes apart if you put a screw driver into the edge and pry it apart. Then after you wrap it it all clips back together.

Hmm good question...
80 bucks into suede at 2.5 yards, maybe 40 into paint and another 20 into supplies like primer and ahesion promoter.

Keep in mind that's Canadian so you could likely do it for around 100 - 125 down there.

looks awesome man! killer work. i was actually in my truck today noticing the black bottom interior, and the upper gray, and thought to myself. "looks like ive got some painting to do."

on another note, are you gonna leave the chrome bumpers? or color match them? personally, i think itd look killer with all black bumpers.
