Recovered my headliner today, went with black to darken the inside of the car.......

Let me know what you think???

i really like that, it looks really good, great job, i do think that you should some how change the colour of the visors, to match the black, that would look a little better i think

Looks good.

Seems alot of us are changing to a Black headliner.

Nice nice nice!! From the angles of the pictures, the pillar posts are itching for the black-out treatment as well. How about a description of how you did it? Headliners scare me LOL

Very spiffy, I'm with whopper here...how'd you do it?

Black is better...its less of a distraction...black tends to disappear from periphial vision allowing better fwd focus

Do the pillars too. FTW!

you frightened of headliners too? Oh man, I thought I was the only one!! LOL.

Altogether the whole process took about 2 hours, I do have a SMALL advantage though, I work in a shop where we do leather and power sunroofs for dealers all over Atlanta, so we have all the equipment and tools and headliner material at our disposal. To do this at home would have not been so fun, mostly due to the size of the headliner, its pretty big out of the car. I will say this, my sunroof guy, who dies a couple headliners a day, he is GOOD, he tells me there are alot of shops that dont like to do sunroofs in the HHR because of the very deep curves in the headliner, to make the material stick good and follow these curves is not very easy, he helped me do most of mine. He kept saying I got lucky that it turned out good.....

Anyways I got alot going on this weekend, maybe tonight and I can post a step by step of how to get the headliner out and put it back in, that part isnt that bad.

Hope I dont scare anyone from trying this, I guess the most important thing would be to make sure whatever material you were going to use stretches ALOT.

Hope everyone has a great weekend......

Oh and to the few posting about doing the pillars, Im on the fence about it, I kinda like the contrasting colors. Eventually I want to put leather on my seats and when I do I will probably do them in black too, I think with the black headliner that will look sick! In a good way of course... ;-)
