Got bored this past weekend and got sick of my headliner dropping and dried up foam falling in my face. So I redid my headliner, and the side panels above my armrests in charcoal/black felt. Working on making covers for the sunvisors, and yes I know I need to paint my sunroof latch.. maybe.... enjoy!

With the visors, I'm looking to just make covers that will fit snugly over them, then sew the open end shut. Not ripping the existing fabric off. Cutting the fabric pattern tonight, I think that's what I'll be doing the sewing weekend... or if I get real ambitious.. one of these evenings after work... working 12-9 blows!

It's not that hard to do at all. Check out my how-to! 1g Headliner How-To

If anyone wants something like this done and doesn't want to do it themselves, shoot me a PM.
 
If I didn't have the sunroof, I was going to use some foamboard or something like that and make the DSM letters and put it in the headliner. (Between the board and the fabric) So there would be a raised "DSM" in the center. But since a nice chunk of space is taken by the sunroof I decided not to do it and have it look too cramped.
 
Got my sunvisors done. All it took was patience...

Basically, just used newspaper to make a pattern from the old one, stitched the sides, folded the bottom, put the visor in the cover, then hand-stitched the top.
