Opinion wanted on interior mod....

Well I think I am taking my car to an upholstery shop on Monday to do my headliner in black suede....

here is a pic of how my interior currently looks...



The guy is going to do the headliner all 6 pilar colums the 2 sun visors he is going to do the sun roof sliding panel and he is going to paint all plastic trim pieces a flat black to match the black suede.... he said he will even wrap the headliner handles in suede.... so basically my whole roof will be black!

I think it will look pretty cool and stand out from stock and for the price I think its a good deal!

Also main reason I wanted to do this if you look at the pic you can see on the sun roof the distinct dirt line the light grey interior is getting really dirty so I think the black will look good and stay clean looking

any thoughts??


Thanks!!!

Since the interior is already two-tone (Black and Taupe), it could look nice. Post pics when complete.

I think it will look dope Justin, but I would consider buying some of the plastic parts in the color you want. Especially the moon roof handle thing it will get alot of use and I don't think paint will hold up well. Maybe even the handles I don't know the price for the parts but you can look up prices on acuraoemparts.com

this guy is charging me $500 so I thought it wasnt a bad deal! he had some real real expensive suede that they use on lambos and ferraris but he said it was $100 for a yard lol i said no thanks! just give me some normal suede
