What color headliner

Hi everyone
Just picked up a 98 Inza Red 3.0 cl and one of the first things I want to do Is a suede headliner. But.....I have a tan interior. I was woundering what you guys thought. Should I stick with a tan color suede or maybe black or gray or should I try a bring in a dark red to match the color of the car. thanks for the help Steve

you will want to do something light.

a dark color will only make your interior feel claustraphobic.

imagine painting your ceiling black.

it doesn't help.

tan mesh ftw

I helped on the last car he did for me. And to tell you the truth if you can do the pillers you can do the headliner. But yea when we get to it.(could be a month or two) I'll take pictures so you can see. But trust me If you already have you feet wet you'll be able to get it done. I want to go crazy and go with a dark red or morown but I just don't know.

Well anyone who has the tan interior or if you've seen it. knows it has a darker strip that runs around the car just below the windows. I think I might try and see how close I can come to that.(it's like a brown) and do it in that color.
