There's really no need to repost another DIY since there is plenty of info and insight in THIS THREAD as well as others.

To remove the headliner, just follow the DIY HERE.

Here are the products you'll need:
Duplicolor: Vinyl and Fabric Paint (Flat Black) - I purchased it at O'Reilly Auto ($7)
3M Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive - Purchased at Home Depot ($12)
Woven Suede - Purchased at a Hancock Fabrics store ($13/yard). I bought 5 yards since I am going to be doing my pillars and the center portion of my dash, but you'd be safe to buy a yard and a half. It takes just over one yard to complete the headliner. DO NOT get the butter suede mentioned in other threads! It looks and feels like absolute dookie compared to this stuff.
Adhesion promoter - I didn't use this but will be when I repaint my plastics since mine are chipping already.

Here are a few tips that I'll share from my experience:
1. Use the 3M 90 adhesive! It has the perfect working time for this project. After spraying, you wait about a minute or so for the glue to get tacky, then just start smoothing the fabric over it. It dries fast and hard enough to hold down any crease that you are smoothing out (you'll just need to press and hold the fabric to cover the tough areas). Also, the three days after I installed my headliner were in the high 90's and not a single spot loosened up.

2. Start with the center 1/3 then work toward one side at a time. Work your way until out you are about an inch from the edge, then cut the excess fabric down to about 1.5-2 inches to wrap over the edge. Also, it helped to cut notches on the fabric that wraps around the back (relieves some of the stress on the fabric).

3. If you happen to mess up a spot, you can peel it up and re-glue. just be careful not to pull the stock headliner apart.

4. This is my best advise: Don't be afraid! When you are getting towards the edges, you will start to doubt that the fabric is going to lie perfectly flat. But just take your time, and don't be scared to force the fabric. Some of the curves at the front of the headliner are a bit complex, but the fabric handled them better than I would have imagined.

5. When you paint the plastic parts, you NEED to clean them first as well as use a primer or adhesion promoter. I am going to have to re-spray some of mine because I didn't prime them. I used the Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint that I got from O'Reilly auto. And remember that the time you spend to prep everything is much more important than the time you spend spraying.

6. Since I drove my car while the headliner was out, I had to reset the airbag light after I reinstalled everything. The procedure is HERE.

So that's about all I can think of to share. Hope it helps!
