    I went out to the VX on my break and realized that it not just fabric it has a hard texture to it like carboard. At this point I really dont think tearing it down and putting fabric up would be a good idea. But it is still in the air.

    Otherwise. does any one know muc about how well fabric paint would adhere to the headliner or what specific type to buy?

    Just cover the existing with a cloth liner - that's what my sun-roof installer did once he cut out the section that needed removing for the sun-roof hardware. Look at Donnie's gallery (user dyanni) to see what it looks like it black.

    The glueing is done with a spray gun and contact cement. You can do it with a can of 3m spray adhesive. Peel off the Grey cloth, coat the foam piece and the new fabric, lay it out and smooth it out... replace headliner... drink celebratory beer...repeat final step as necessary. This is a 1, on a scale of 1-10, on difficulty. Have at it with all confidence, you can do it.

    I might have to tackle this mod this weekend. I would look cool black and possibly carbon fiberish. I really want to re-cover those visors I hate those warning stickers.

    Why is it you have to finish with a celebratory beer? I like to celebrate during and when finished.!!!!
