Default Suede Headliner And A-pillars

Took The Car In Finally To Get My Hail Damage Repaired From April! Figured While They Were Working On It And Had The Headliner Out I Would Have It Covered In Black Suede. Also Covering The A-pillars. Will Post Pics As Soon As I Get It Back.

Was Curious How Many Others Have Done This And Do They Have Pics?

Nastyboy did his and it looks so damn good. He even had his dash and console covered in suede. It really does have that ferrari feel.

These pics are old but you get the idea. Everything had been painted black to match.

it was 350 for the headliner and visors.
then i added the a-pillar for 100
then i noticed a lot of the plastic peices (interrior light, sunglass holder, sunvisor connector) connected to the headliner and visors were grey as well. so for another 50 he is going to paint them with some special plastic paint?

grand total installed---500 bucks!

i felt like it was a fair deal--the same guy also installed my leather seat kit for 300.

on a totally unrelated side note--in his shop he had a 25th anniversary countach, ford gt, 2 late 80's early 90's (?) aston martins AND a rare bmw m1.

looks good 350mark!! can't wait to see mine! but even more, cant wait to get all the f***ing hail dents removed from my car. i was hit by 4, yes 4, hail storms before i had even made 2 payments on my car! the PDR guys assured me i won't even be able to tell after they are done with it..........we'll see.
