Default Suede headliner, dyed pillars and cleaned it up (pic heavy)

Hey guys so after much trial and error I finally got the color right on the pillars and interior pieces in the truck so no more tan! I also redid the headliner in black suede and recovered the sub box in black carpet instead of the old grey (no pics of that)

Sorry about the size guys I tried shrinking them all as best I could but seem to be having some issues with photobucket.

pics are the perfect size. not huge, but big enough to show detail.

You need to comb the suede so it all goes in one direction.

looks sick, your truck is nasty bro. Suede headliners are the chit. Darkens up the cab perfectly.

I had the local body shop supply shop custom mix it up as the "factory color" mix by SEM http://www.wheelskin.com/sem-15000.html doesn't seem to match the current interior colors of our truck 100%. It's much like spray paint but requires a proper mix of adhesion promoter and primer prior to spraying.

The headliner was done in the garage. Pull off the tan and glue down the suede. Time consuming but worth it in my opinion. As for the pillars they're all dyed to match the interior color.

The cab lights are awesome except you need to put in a resistor for your map lights to work when you push them and to keep the leds from constantly glowing.
