not bad, nice work

[airborneparainf82]

Im not a fan of that design, but its not about what I like Im sure! ;)

Looks like the install was well done! Was it pretty easy?

[seth98esT]

lol you dont own a VW Miss Martha Stewart.

[SkylineG1]

Tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IceDouTGaLanT]

That looks great, fabric looks like it stuck perfectly. Not a fan of the burberry but appreciate the work.

[Jeffylou87]

LOL, it's not burberry.. Eveyone thinks that tan plaid is burberry... it's not.. It's just a color that matches to my interior and I like the plaid look.. Thanks for the comments though.. I didn't take a pics during progress so I can't make a tutorial.. Sorry carl. :)

[IceDouTGaLanT]

hahah yeah, it looks similar. But how long did the rear deck take? also did you staple the extra fabric from the back? I always wanted to try this to my rear deck with black suade

[Jeffylou87]

No stapling involved.. Needed 3 yards of fabric and two 24oz bottles of 3M super 90.. Its super simple

[shockwave000]

Outstanding work.

[RedGalant2k1]

I guess thats one color, well two, no maybe three...j/k

Looks like great work, now you should do your seats and dashboard too!

[Jeffylou87]

haha that would be way too much plaid!

[4g63lover]

dude, thats awesome, I actually want to wrap my rear decklid with a patterned fabric. I was thinking either camo like strizi or burberry.

[RedGalant2k1]

I should wrap my rear deck in carbon fiber.

[4g63lover]

I should wrap my rear deck in carbon fiber.

you would. you pull that off Im sending you mine too! lol

[EATsleepJDM]

nice work.how did you get the headliner out?i know i have a 7g but it may be similar to the 8g so thats why im asking.

[Niytrus]

looks good, a nice CarPC would set it off perfectly ;)

[Jeffylou87]

If anyone wants to wrap their stuff just come by my town and I'll help out..

Its really much simpler than it looks. Just take off everything that looks like its holding it up..


Nytrus: I am saving for it.. But I make $8 an hour :( I'm trying.. I need tires first though..

[RedGalant2k1]

nice work.how did you get the headliner out?i know i have a 7g but it may be similar to the 8g so thats why im asking.

Yes, its similar. You will need to remove the rear deck anyway (assuming thats why Jeff did his rear deck also) to get the headliner out. The a-pillar, b and c pillar covers need to come out. You probably have to remove the lower b-pillar covers also because no doubt the upper pillars screws are covered there. The rear seat, and that should be about it.

[RAZ_76]

Material reminds me of golf pants and I don't like it but I give you an A+ for the labor part.

dang thats sounds like a lot of work.but i think i may do something like this during spring, along with the other stuff i have to put on my car.DAMN chicago winter...

[HungarianHunter]

Hey man great work! How hard was the headliner, that's my next project. Whit vinyl :D Unless it's too thick for the headliner... the doors weren't extremely hard, but I think a thinner fabric would have made it easier.

[galant350z]

looks really good, kinda nerdy though haha

[Jeffylou87]

You don't have to take the rear deck off to get the headliner off.. You're right about all the pillars though..

[RedGalant2k1]

You don't have to take the rear deck off to get the headliner off.. You're right about all the pillars though..

And if you have the pillars off you may as well take care of the rear deck. :D

[Sillyasianz]

Not feeling the fabric.

checked out the sight..

i dont liike the fact that that they only sell Designer pattern fabric. My girl would love those options for her interior though. lol

[Sillyasianz]

Hey, if you want non-designer fabric, go to Joanns or something :P

[Jeffylou87]

I wasnt going for a designer look.. I just like plaid and it matched the color of my interior.. I think its pretty pimp..


EDIT: Damn $25 a yard for Burberry..

[Sillyasianz]

to make it flow even better i suggest doing the doors. you tecnically dont need to glue it over your leather. Just remove it from the door (its easy), wrap it, pull it as tight as possible and staple gun in the back and re-install....

[blkg01]

I like nicely done. One of a kind trendsetter i see.

[mitsu_vic]

Looks good, the pattern looks nice against the tan and black colors of the G. Looks like a simple enough mod with out alot of $$$.

[acitydweller]

great work... i didnt know any guys who was into quilt patterns. hehe.. whatever floats your boat

[Frankv]

Ima have to put that on my checklist for things to do. Great work!

[Bezzle]

AH! He did it! Looks good Jeff. I remember you telling us
and I just couldn't picture it blending together but ya did it.

[Ruslik]

the fabric reminds me of those expensive coach or gucci purses

[Niytrus]

Lol yeah I know, just giving you a hard time ;)

Car is looking good though!

[VegasMatt]

I think I have some shorts in that pattern. I did my headliner too in a tan suede.

[boochieboy]

Not a fan of the fabric,,,but you definately get high marks on the execution, good work!
P.S. how long did it take you?

[Jeffylou87]

Thanks for all the comments everyone.. It took me about 5 hours total..

[mrjaydeeone]

nice work Jeff

[jamesgalant]

Looks pretty good.. HOws the 3m spray holding up?? no sagging or air pockets??

[Stewi]

I wish I would have seen this earlier. I wrapped my headliner in black suede today.

On a scale of 1-10 mine is about am 8, there are two little creases I couldnt get out. I actually think it would be easier if I had a sunroof, because I would have had an opening to push the wrinkles out to.

Overall nice work on yours, not a fan of the pattern, but if it makes you happy, thats what matters.

[silveresv6]

looks great Jeff....good job

mine had no issues with the 3m super 77 spray and it was on for almost 5 years...and 3 of it in the hot a$$ texas sun
and i was getting ready to do my back dash the weekend after i wrecked my car

[Jeffylou87]

nice work Jeff

Thanks Jay.. Got the headliner idea from you actually.. Not the pattern of course.. lol

This 3M spray is amazing.. It's holding up just fine.. No sagging or bubbles..

Thanks Stewi.. Suede is a little bit harder to work with because its a thicker material and heavier.. It was pretty easy with the sunroof because I got to pull it up and around to the upside and glue it up there too.. Thanks for the compliment on the job!

Thanks man.. Thought about using Super 77 but then I heard about Super 90 that was stronger.. I went with that cause I want it to last me a long time.. I'm glad the the 77 is holding up for 5 years now..

[Jeffylou87]

Here's a little update:

I don't know if I like it yet..

[cg8798]

I like the pattern on the rood but not on the arm rest or rear lid. I think it looks real good up top. Cool stuff. I really want to do an interior overhaul and this seems like something I'd like to try out. Nice job man.

[I4betterthanUR4]

I first saw the headliner when your car was voted cotm and I gotta say that is effin cool. My opinion, I think the arm rest looks off cause it doesn't flow with the rest of the interior up front if you dont consider the headliner. I think you should do the cloth parts of the door panel with that design and I think it'll look like it belongs there. Keep us updated.

[Jeffylou87]

I took it off the arm rest.. I'm gunna get a CF one.. Thanks for the input guys.

[JDM4G64T]

Try wrapping your steering wheel next......lol. Not a bad job at all...... Post a tutorial if you can, when you do the CF....

[Jeffylou87]

Oh, I won't be doing the CF lol.. I'm gunna buy one that's made already..

[fatal1]

super 90 is some serious stuff we use it on some stuff for repairs and it definately takes a strong hold

[BODOGG]

LOOKS GOOD !!!! How many yards of fabric you need for the headliner?

[Jeffylou87]

I bought 4 yards but only used 3.. For the rear deck and the headliner. I used two bottles of 24oz Super 90.. If you plan on going leather like you asked about in another thread, I would double up on the glue.. Not sure how well that's going to work though.. Good luck!

[lor_tek]

Great creativity there. One of a kind design. Looking good, labor and time spent well.

[dniice87]

i can dig it. nice work man

[blue8g]

nice work i'll do that this winter!

[Proto]

I used suede in my eclipse with the super 90 glue and it worked well. Anyone doing interior just needs to remember to have patience because when you get to the contouring near the lights and such it can become a hassle to get it right.

[Jeffylou87]

Here's an update for ya'll!!

I did my girlfriends healdiner today in a fabric that she liked that matched her interior. Got it done in exactly 3 hours from start to finish.. panels and everything! I'm proud of myself and my gf cause she helped out too.

She drives a 00 ES Northstar White with gray interior.

[IVORY_G]

WOW! LOL! For a sec I thought u changed yours out for this til I read it! LMAO!

[blue8g]

sorry to bump an old thread but was your material wide enough to where you only had to use one piece or did you have to use multiple pieces to cover the entire headliner? if that made no sense tell me lol

[IVORY_G]

Ive done my headliner as well, u can check my build thread, I used one large piece. I believe you will get the best results from this, as I did.

What was that LED looking thing hanging from your celing? Are those cop lights???

[sponcar]

^I expecting that is a custom mirror for her car..!!

[charris]

^ I think faction's talking about Jeffy's car, not his GF's. It's hanging in the back window. I would guess some lights or an LED sign perhaps...

he is a volunteer firefighter or paramedic. I forgot which. But they are LED lights

[Jeffylou87]

I'm an EMT.. They are emergency lights.. Thanks for all the comments... I have them in the front and rear.. Usually when you order a yard it's wide enough to cover from side to side, I usually get four yards to do the headliner and rear deck..

[HungarianHunter]

Hey Jeffy (and everyone else) you may have seen the black/grey checkered fabric I used for my interior. Well the doors look great, but the headliner sags unmerciful. Could it be the fabric? The back of it is completely smooth, which I later realized could make it harder for the glue to grab onto it and hold it to the headliner? I used 3m super 90, and sprayed it generously, let it get tacky, and worked the fabric on. Should I just get a thicker material (well not necessarily thicker, just more "grab able" for the glue) and redo it? Like black vinyl maybe?
