The inside of the bat mobile
Has anyone heard of changing the headliner in a 3G. I hate the tan/grey color I want to change to black!
Let me know what you think of the pics?

RE: The inside of the bat mobile
when i get my new GSX my headliner will probably be black, i know a guy that does interior lining so i'll get a deal, i'm not sure what i would cost a shop or anything.

I dont have any pics to show you but taking the headliner out is fairly easy. In the front
- Remove both left and right sun visors. should be like 3 screws a piece, easy to do.
- pull off sun roof switch housing, should just un clip when you pull down.
- As with the above, this only pertains to you if you have a sunroof. but you need to pull out the rubber stripping that runs around the sunroof.
in the back seats you just need to take a flat head screwdriver and carefully pull out the snap in plugs that hold the headliner on.
The process of taking the headliner out if done through the trunk. open it up and have a friend help you guide it out. it took me a little forcing but it wasnt much trouble.
As for the actual laying of the fabric this is what i did.
Lay the fabric out and trim it to size, leaving about 3/4 - 1" all around. you need to get a can of spray adhesive, i used loctite and i dont recomend it. i have heard 3M makes a good headliner glue. But the point is it has to be headliner glue, not just any spray adhesive.
Work from on side to the other trying to stretch it to the top and bottom as much as possible, otherwise you will get to a corner and find out you have too much fabric left and you will have to cut it and leave a seam.
