so i was gonna get ready to order that sude to do mine (samples came in and looks great for waht i need) any idea on how much i need to do the headliner and a b & c pillars in black, and the sunroof and visors in orange?? seeing as its $10 a yard, id rather not spend an extra $30 bucks or so if i dont need to

i would bust out the measuring tape remember measure twice cut once and you want at least4 inches of overhang on all sides.

I'm currently trying to get this project started, I've got a few things in my way:
- put on summer wheels (just finished)
- remove and reapply suede armrest cover
- install shift boot adapter
- install aluminum pedals
- finish carpeting custom trunk floor
- install custom plugins to car PC for multimedia

Then there might be a few minutes on the side to look at the headliner, unfortunately I'm swamped working on my car 4 hours a day to get ready for the Driven 2009 show. I'd love to get it done for the show June 13 and I even got a friend with a sewing machine to sew up the visor covers, I just don't have the time with my stupid job eating 8 hours a day.

hey dex, you mentioned installing a shift boot adapter, does that work on the oem shift boot and after market shift ****?

 
Rep Power: 212

what do u mean by shift boot adapter??

 
Rep Power: 227

looks nice

 
Rep Power: 277

Ha, that's what it's meant for! If you have the stock **** then you don't need it. And I'll find out how well it works when it comes in the mail this week, the guy said it will fit my shifter. Probably wasted my money though, I might get the Revo SS soon and don't know if it'll fit that. Oh well, we'll see.

In the Si, the boot clips to the shift **** and in the lower models it actually uses a zip tie to stay up to the ****. If you change to an aluminum aftermarket **** like I did, then there's no place to attach the zip tie and the boot falls down to the bottom of the shifter, exposing the shifter itself. So in order to keep the boot up, you can use something like this:




It's got a groove in it that you can attach the zip tie to and it sits flush against the bottom of your aftermarket shift ****. I bought mine from www.strutking.com along with a set of pedals, he's got a bunch of cool stuff that he machines out of aluminum. I'm going to order the shifter cable bushings when I get more money.

WOW! ive been needing something like that, i just pulled my boot up a little more, folded it over, and zip tied it tight. i can still kinda feel the zip tie, but i havnt had any problems and its been on there for a few months

so i looked at em, its under the '06+ but it should work just as well for my '01 right? after all its just threaded on

hey dex lemme know if it does work on your revo ss, i just got mine in last night and if not then i'll just leave my stock shifter on then, thanks man

I emailed him with the specific question before buying mine and he replied saying it will fit for sure on a 7th generation Civic. Or you can just wait until I get mine and I can let you know for sure.
Can do but it might be a while before I get the Revo. Been looking at it for over a year and still no cash. I had a guy offer to buy it for me in return for installing his but turned it down because I'm a nice guy and did it for free....

just got my suede in yesterday. anybody done this with a sunroof? not sure how thats wrapped, i havnt taken it out yet to look at it

 
Rep Power: 256

yea this was the one time i was glad i didn't have a sun roof .but i do remember a diy for a sun foof check some other honda forums .

Oh man, it just folds up around the glass area. The headliner should still only be clipped in around that area, there's no way for them to secure it with screws or anything that can't be pulled out. So just pull on it and it should pop down. Then when you put the fabric on, just make sure you have excess in that area to fold it up around the edges. Pretty much like a big dome light, same way.

cool cool. and u guys said u sewed ur visors. i saw on another thread that u can pop them open like a clam shell and do it that way w/o having to sew (i think theres no sewing that way)

 
Rep Power: 277

Really? This would be great, have to check this out. I doubt it though.

Rep Power: 212

dam im finally done and everything is installed and i have to say it came out better then i thought it would.ill take some pics when it stops raining .the onley downside is there is like an optical illusion that makes it feel smaller in the car but ill get over that.i also need to get some moisture and UV protection on there so all my hard work will last.

 
Rep Power: 256

the finished product .

 
Rep Power: 258

Very nice...I just think you should replace those tan mirror covers and the parts around the visor with either the gray ones or make them black.

 
Rep Power: 256

i was going to do that at first but i kinda like it that way it kind off ties the rest of the interior together. maybe ill hit up some auto yards and see if i can find some black ones maybe even the rest of the trim and seats.

 
Rep Power: 277

Dye them black with vinyl dye.

 
Rep Power: 212

im in the process of painting mine....just never use those mirrors so im not in a rush

 
Rep Power: 388

I got some mirrors already taken apart with all the tan hardware and ready for wrapping. I'll trade anyone for their stock ones- I'm putting my headliner and mirrors back to stock. PM me.

BTW- lowlife, interior looks pretty nice =)

ive been searching for a long time for a product that will prevent my fake suede from dulling from UV rays and only found a product from 303 called high tech fabric guard so i bought it for 25 bucks from auto geek . upon receiving the spray it says not to use on synthetic suede something the web site faild to mention . does anyone know of a product specifically made for fake suede or something that wont damage it.
