the material is a faux suade i got from jo-ann fabric for 40 bucks the name brand was liz claiborne.i also used 3M high strength adhesive 90 spray glue.this particular material had very little stretch to it but you can make it work.
just the upper area headliner and panels also door inserts.as for the process remove headliner spray an area of the headliner with an evan amount of glue then the fabric not to much or the glue mite seep threw then smooth out with your hands applying small amount of pressure .there are more informative diys online with pics.the rest of the panels i mite replace with stock black if i can find it.
yes rite on top of the old material and trust me i was scared to ive never done anything like this before. but i wanted a new look its really not that difficult . if you mess it up you can always start over.but like i said its not hard.just take your time. the back panel in the pic alone took me over an hour to complete not including the sanding.
ive been looking for some faux suade (because in too cheap to get real suade) to do my headliner again for the 4th time lol. looks real nice, just like the real stuff.

yea if its not extremely stretchy its hard not to get wrinkles with the small amount of time you get before the glue sets im glad i don't have a sun roof.
