edge Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Looks great! need to do mine soon. Makes such a difference. You think the headlining would be a do-able job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Looks great! need to do mine soon. Makes such a difference. You think the headlining would be a do-able job? I was thinking about the headlining too. I know someone has done it as someone was selling a dyed one. I have grey fittings and sun visors, so don't think it will look right. I supposed I could mask the mirror etc. then dye them but the fittings will still be grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
