Default I <3 suedeee

got bored this weekend so I picked up some (fake) suede to do my headliner with.
This project took me a few hours but it was totally worth it in the end.

here are some pictures:


since I had all the interior parts out I decided to spray them black to match the new headliner, I used krylon black spraypaint for plastics


I wanted the stuff to look good so I made sure to take everything apart so it doesnt look ghetto


decided to smoke my interior lights a little so they dont stand out so much


theres the headliner from the back after i got everything cut out


heres a close up of some of the 'relief' cuts you have to make so your corners dont get wrinkled


my car chilling outside with no sunroof while i wrapped the sunroof visor (when i started this project i didnt realize i'd have to pull the ENTIRE sunroof assembly just to get the visor out, what a pain in the ***! thank god it wasnt raining)


heres the car its going in.. too bad the car is still a piece of ****! Those are just my winter steelies. The whole car should be getting a fresh paint job this spring (I do collision repair for a living, so i can do it whenever, i just need to find some free time), but in the mean time i decided i'd try to freshen up the interior

heres a picture of my car with its spring/summer wheels..



rota haters, please dont bother.. i know they're knockoffs, im only 19 and id rather not spend $1000+ plus on a set of wheels.. i think these look great and im more than happy with them

the headliner is all done and back in the car, just need to finish spraying some of the interior pieces (the 'oh ****' handle and the dome light are holding me up)

I'll try to get some better pictures if these clouds ever clear up.. but heres the best i could do in the mean time:









this is the next thing i want to wrap, the area around the shift boot


and i have no idea what to do with these visors, i think i might take them to get wrapped professionally. Do any integras come with stock black visors? Im pretty sure spraypainting them would look like garbage, and im not in a huge rush to get them back in.

looks like a pretty clean job the trim around the edges takes away from the complete product a lil bit but not much u can do about that.

Yeah the part covering the sunroof slides back in case you dont want the sun shining in on you or something like that.

and about the gray trim taking away from the finished product, I definitly agree. I sprayed the A pillars black for now, although I plan on wrapping those soon as well, and I want to try to wrap the b/c pillar, but if i can't i'll probably spray that black as well.

Also, looking at the pictures full size on the computer screen, they look pretty gray. In real life, the fabric is actually really black. Also there are a lot of specs of dirt on it in the pictures, i havent had a chance to get in there with a lint roller yet and clean all that junk off.

that actually doesn't look bad.

how does that plastic spray paint hold up btw? my interior in my eg was spray painted, it would chip off whenever you touched it. not sure what paint was used but i sold the complete interior for original black interior.

good work btw, i'd remove the center caps from your wheels, they look better without them

It works really good, but you have to scuff it w/ a red 3m pad, then (adhesive promoter) primer and paint to get good results.

i might have to give that a try, thanks

and yeah, i washed all the plastic parts and scuffed them and used spray paint especially for plastics, i mean, they're not great, i would much rather have OEM black parts, but as long as its not an area you have to touch a lot, like a door handle or something, spray paint works fine.
