Thinking about doing a black headliner in the GS with some plastidiped A and B pillar plastics. What fabrics have you guys gone with? I have seen Microfiber and Suede, any other options out there or examples?

Go with "suede look" material, it's way lighter an cheaper than real suede plus if you buy a 3m spray adhesive it will go right over your old stuff!

Lol josh im literally in the process of doing the same exact thing...ill post pics when im done to let you see how it looks

This is my headliner in suede look material

Search noob. Just go to walmart and look in the fabrics.

I could search all I want but I was looking for input as well

I don't shop at Walmart unless its after midnight and I am desperate and need to jimmy rig something. I cannot find any plain black microsuede locally... Not even at the fabric store, they have black zebra... but that's it. Will have to order online.

Ouch. How about a michaels craft store or similar? lol

Yeah I may have found some at a Joans fabric store. Online says they dont cary it but a buddy bought his there. I checked Michael already

I don't feel comfortable about buying things like fabric online. It is one of those things I would like to see in person before I buy. Maybe I am just weird.

josh, find an online fabric retailer and ask for a sample set. I would suggest online because you can choose between a lot of different variables, such as thickness, durability, etc.

You can always get a keychain of different sample sets, then you can take them in your car and get the EXACT match you're looking for!

That's where I got the material for mine. I just picked a normal black one. Nothing special and it got the job done...

Been thinking about buying a kit from Auto Barn:

yeah mine came out really nice i bought some random black lightweight fabric and used a light coat of spray glue...this was 2 years ago and its still holding strong...i used fabric dye for the visors and ring around the sunroof and it looks good i can take pics if need, the hardest part was being careful with the headliner, its SO fragile!
