#32948, "Headliner/ Carpet Color change."




          

K. Here is a good question, I got me some gray shit in my car that I want to turn black, I want to buy new BLACK carpet and I wanted to know if I could get a BLACK headliner too. Once I get this stuff how hard is it to put in, I'm guessing I'll have to get a new headliner put in @ a shop, I probably can't put it in myself because I think it involves glue and shit like that. Anyhoo, any help you may have is DEFINITELY appreciated GREATLY. I'm aiming to black out my whole interior. I'm getting Katzkin leather seat covers (Bet cha couldn't guess, they are black) Painting all the plastic trim stuff black. It will look good. Yeah, I'm rambling. If you have any websites or anything that you thing might help me out on this stuff I would appreciate it. Thanks AGAIN. :Thumbsup

carpet is a bitch. If I could do it over, I would pay someone to install carpet. I bought acc mats blue. It is molded, but you have to press it into stock to form, and then cut all holes and trim yourself. Very time consuming and involves precision.

What is the web site for ACS or the phone number because if it is easier than the ACC, I want it. ACC priced the whole car in black for 155, is the ACS cheaper.

now back to 1998ecipse, there is a mod on here that tells you how to redo your headliner, just search. I think it even has pics to guide you. ALso check the sale/wanted forum, you might find some black pieces for sale. Even check junkyards, I don't think the small pieces are that expensive new. I wouldn't paint but there is someone on here that painted his in white and blue and it looks dope. Just take care of it and do it right. I am doing my interior in all black to so you get a . I bought some rear black leather seats off of fauchpj for 150 so just look around.

If any one has front black leather seats for sale or even black seat belts, or black panel around front seat belt next to your head I would like to sport them in my car.

dfresh

will post more pics when front is painted

Man, EVERY SINGLE TIME I POST... You guys give me EVERYTHING I need. Thanks alot. If anyone has leather seats in good condition tell me. I might just replace all the seats w/ used ones, sounds cheaper.


Thanks again!

ACC is molded to fit, but needs to have holes cut and it has to be cut down the middle for center console. The trunk doesn't need it. It comes rolled up, so you have to shape it.
