    So I thought I would give it a try and do the interior myself in black suede. So I did the headliner and the A, B, and C pillars. It's hard to tell with the flash. It took me about 23 hours to do the whole project over the space of 2 days. I also painted the trim black.

    It looks good, but you are right, hard to tell details with the flash. How did you paint the trim pieces?? I'm looking to do this as well, so I'm curious as to how you did it. And holy cow brutha, bust out a vacuum before you snap some pics, lol!!! ;) Anxious to see full shots (with no flash) when she's all cleaned up for the prom. :) But initially, it looks good.

    Still trying to figure out how to do the visors. I looks pretty complicated to me. If anyone has any pointers, please let me know.

    What was the process for doing the headliner and pillars? I thought about doing this myself to the jeep but didn't want to mess anything up.

    Where did you get the suede?

    Looks great by the way!!! Very impressed!!

    I went to fabric.com to get the microfiber suede. Then went to retailmenot.com and typed fabric.com in the search to find a coupon code to use for fabric.com. I bought some 3M adhesive spray. Other than that, just have to take everything out of the car and have the patience to work on it. I got the directions to take my interior out from Dodge's service guys in the shop. They just printed me all the pages I need that they use to take it apart. No charge, but that's because I know all the guys in the shop.

    Thanks for the info I am going to do this at some point this summer

    I know the jeep is different but was the fabric big enough to do the headliner in one piece?

    should be. My piece was about 5 feet wide and I had about 4 inches extra on each side when I was fitting it.
