Anyone here try this? I was thinking about covering my headliner in a 3 yard piece of black micro-suede that i have laying around from covering rear seats to match ep3 seats, but now i have leather so its just laying here. has anyone tried to do this on a 7thgen? just wondering if its easy to get the headliner out of the car in one piece, and if all the dips and stuff made it hard to cover. any comments?
Thats something id like to do as well, the headliner is plain and semi cheap, (not to mention dirty in my car), i would say trying to get it out by folding your rear seats and out through the trunk depending on how much you can bend it without damaging it.
here's an idea for ya why dont you go all out and do somethin crazy and cover your head liner with some bride material
thats damn insane, nice, but i dunno if its my taste. i cant sew worth a damn so i need to make it super easy, plus the headliner has all these dips in it and not to mention the sunroof hole... im thinking about giving it a shot.

i did mine the hardest part was taking it out.....I used fabric dye and dyed mine black
Thats what I would do blou, take it out and dye it with fabric dye. Easiest way to do it.

In theory, couldn't you just take out the old one and use it as a rough template to replace it with different fabric? You could probably find something useful at Hobby Lobby or Hancock's or some place like that.
I think it's a great idea to replace the headliner. I've been wanting to for a very long time now. I only know a couple things about it:
I've removed my headliner to do some bodywork a while back. Removing the headliner is not that difficult. Just be diligent. I laid my seat all the way back and angled my steering wheel up for room, you kinda have to jimmy it to get it to come out.
I was going to get a nice black cloth, and spray glue right on top of the old headliner. Making sure that the old headliner is as clean as it can get.
After I took out the headliner, it looked to me like it was really kinda flimsy, and I was thinking I would damage it if I took off the existing cloth.
Another Idea that crossed my mind was removing the headliner, using the existing cloth, and applying fiberglass resin. After drying, you could bondo, sand prime and paint, for a fiberglass headliner. (I liked this idea for the fact that it wouldn't get dirty. Just wipe up anything.)
i would want a fiberglass headliner. but wouldnt you have to take it out. and if you harden it outside it wouldnt go in. and you couldnt harden it insided cuz the resin would drip down. thats what i was thinking until the people at gas did it in some car. that would be sick thought
