I haven't seen anything pre-made or even made to order for our cars, except for the carpet and floor mats. I think you will have to go to a upholstery shop, do a comparison of prices and such, and find the one that suits you best. The headliner is made of vynil, it's best to leave that up to a professional with the proper material to get it done for you.

 

yeaaah thats what i was afraid of, haha yeah those custom ones are gonna cost an arm

 

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but my brother dyed a white rear seat to match his black interior. This was for a 68 Camaro not for his Honda, but it was DIY and it looks good, car doesn't get driven alot so I can't say how it will hold up, but it has been several years since he did it.

 

IMO best thing to do is to pick up some interior dye in the color your looking for and do it up

 

A complete deviation from original would rise to a USA network "West Coast Customs" custom manufacture exercise.
If you want to keep it simple, you can purchase vinyl dyes (sprays like paint) to change the plastic's color and have an upholstery shop change the carpet inlays.

thanks everyone, but where could i pick up that dye u all are talking about? NAPA, autozone?

 

Auto Body supply houses I'd try first. DeathZone MIGHT carry some.
