my accents (like your roof console) will be painted to match the color of the car, along with the handles, lights, etc.
Got the fabric from JoAnn Fabrics, that was 3 yards (6'x9') I wouldn't know where to begin with a sunroof to contend with. But I'm sure there's a custom shop or 10 that would
They've got suede at JoAnns??
yea, suede, microsuede, some leather (kinda pricey though) you find it on the larger rolls, with the upholstery

on a scale of 10, a 6. You're taking out most of your interior (get that sound deadening done while it's gutted!) and You really need to be patient when covering around the curves or it'll look like hell. Having a second person will also help immensely.

I did this on my VW, and I'm gonna help my buddy do the headliner on his tC this weekend.

lvbitwiz has said pretty much everything identical to what I did, even where I bought it. I also had a sunroof to mess with, adds a not-so-fun challenge. I might do it on my xB, not sure though.

Here's a decent pic of my VW's headliner:

I think it'll look good, bro!!! IMO, Louis Vuitton stuff is waaaay played out. I was looking at some Gucci material, but I'd rather get some Famous Stars and Straps stuff made.

I KNOW!!! Lol! I meant in general, LV stuff is played out.

That's why I asked about the casino carpet!! I think the card suit stuff will work well, especially since your accent color is blue.

Thanks LB, that link did the trick. I dyed my C pillars black, but can you give me a clue how to uninstall the B pillars? Does anyone know of a good DIY for removing the B pillars?
