its not worth doing it yourself trust me i would spend like 50 bucks and take it to a perfessional. My eclipse headliner started to sag and i got a new cloth and put it together and a week later it fell apart again. So i decided to use contact cement and i looked like someone nut all over my headliner. spent 60 dallors on 3 or four tries at this. Then i took it to an interior place and spent 50$ and they even matched the headliner to the original.

Hey, I actually have done what you are trying to do. If you can take all the stuff and have it professionally reupholstered, do it that way. Because its really difficult to do it right. Even mine didnt come out perfect. However If I were going to do it again I wouldn't have covered the headliner in Velour. Duplicolor makes vinyl and fabric paint that worked awesome on my sun visors(fabric part) ! I would do the headliner in the Charcoal color. And the Pillars you would need to get an adhesion promoter for plastics ( Such as bulldog if you can find it) or else the paint might chip off and look all craptacular.

If you need any help just pm me. I can walk you through the process.


You will need to remove the seatbelts to drop the headliner. And believe me those bolts are TORQUED THE **** IN THERE! Plus they have loctite on them. But you can get em off. The pillars (especially the rear ones) are a pain in the ass so i wouldnt reccomend removing any of them in cold weather, for they may crack. Also If you want to do your sunroof slider you will have to remove the entire sunroof assembly. Plus I dont think there is a way to dye or paint that silicone thingy around the sunroof so thats why I opted to leave the slider tan. I also left the plastic covers for the sunvisor mirrors tan. Hopefully you dont have a sunroof it'll make it quite a bit easier.

Just remember to pm me if you have any questions.
