Yeah, a couple minor design flaws with the VX... notably, the seats that don't slide forward enough, the huge blind spots, and my favorite, the lack of trunk and gas cap door releases. Fortunately there are fairly simple remedies to most of those issues.

Anyhow, removing the headliner is a bit of a pain because you first need to remove the interior side panels. Be sure you have the right tool to remove the upper seat belt mounts, or else you'll have to force them through the side panel holes (which is possible, but requires some bending and forcing). Once these are out, it's pretty straight forward - just remove the four suicide grips, visors, and a bunch of plastic push tabs and it'll pop right out. I don't know about dying it, but if you find a good method please share!
