I have been looking for a tutorial with pictures on how to remove the headliner and pillars. I know how to apply the fabric and what to use, I redid my rear deck as well (black and tanish paisley) and plan on wrapping the pillars and headliner in black suede.

 

Looks really clean! I can't wait until you do the seats and other little interiors that you plan to do. It's gonna be sick!

Where is the best place to get suede material?

 

I'm out of class at 5. what time will you be home? i want to do the CC on my new HLs cuz i sold the old ones

 

Look up just a few posts in this thread - I edited one of my posts a few minutes ago with a link to a post by Auditech79 on how to remove the headliner. It isn't illustrated or photo-enhanced, but from the description, it's pretty easy. As for the pillars, they just pop off - it takes quite a bit of force because they are clipped in very securely, but there are no hidden screws or anything on them - just gotta lever them off. See if Auditech's post helps you with the headliner though.

 

I'll be home by 6, but I'll unlock the garage for you before I go - come on over as soon as you're out if you want. Plenty of beer left

 

cool, i'll stop over after class.

 

Thanks man, I love it I think the whole thing, once finished, should be pretty bad-***. The seats will wait awhile though - they're gonna be big-time expensive I'm sure (local place here wanted $800 to reskin just the front seats in my Z, and that was 7 years ago - they recently quoted a friend $360 to replace ONE PANEL on his A4 driver's seat). I'll definitely shop around (I know of a place called The Secret Service in Syracuse, about an hour from me, and they did great work on a friend's Z for a very reasonable price), but my leather is still pretty good with no rips or holes, so I won't sweat it there. The headliner, pillars, and armrest are going to be done in the next month though. Pics of course to follow.

I get the suede at JoAnn Fabrics in town here. I know they have at least a couple of stores here, but I don't know if they are national. I've tried places like AC Moore and Michael's craft shops, but they don't have suede (at least here). JoAnn's lists the suede at $22/yd (54" wide rolls), but they're always on 40% off, so out the door with tax, a yard runs $14.25.

 

Sounds good. I should be here probably just a bit after you are. Maybe I'll do my A pillars while you're doing the CC mod.

 

Looks refreshingly. Nice job. As someone said, you should make a DIY thread as well.

 

Not my cup of tea (big pimpin!) but it looks like you did a pro looking job on the install, so I do commend you on that.
