Anyone replace their headliner?

Has anyone replaced their headliner with a different color? or just replaced it in general? Im looking for a good web site to order a black replacement, or I guess if it comes down to it I could get my current one re-done at an interior shop

I watched a show on how to do this about a month ago (Trucks).
I plan on switching mine to black and having Flames or
SVT embossed in the middle. The show said to go to a sewing/crafts store and get some foam material and cut your design at a 45 degree angle. You then spray mount the foam cut-out to the base of the headliner and when that drys, spray the headliner and mount the fabric of your choice.

The hardest part will be also doing the visors the same color.

I have a special plan for my visors, working on getting the material for them...Im just going to let the interior shop I know to do the visors, and maybe the headliner if I cant find a nice molded one for sale online. I want the black carpet/headliner, figured since my interior is/will be stripped, might as well modd that stuff while Im at it

Nope, Im not quite as crazy as you are man. I want a black headliner,black carpet/mats, and Im going to see if I cant find some way of matching the passanger side pilar to the double gauged black pilar for the driver side that I want. Like I said Im going to re-wrap the visors as well to match the black scheme...but with something other than cloth. I think all the black should look killer with the extra carbon fiber on the overhead console and dome light.

Common man, sand all the texture off everything.
It'll only take a few months.

noooo way, it takes me monthes as it is to put on parts I have had forever. I have a friggin stock pile of parts to do.

1. Sir micheals roll pan, tail gate strip/handle , rear window shroud,
2. smooth side steps replacements
3. Bucket seat conversion
4. Install Navi GPS/Console (once I find the damn harnesses)
5. Re-wrap visors
6. Black headliner + carpet + mats
7. Reinstall overhead console/dome light when the come back from phoenix imaging
8. Satin door switches
9. I have to get a new fiber glass box made for my subs, and probably a new amp to flush into the face of the box.
10. XM Radio HU
11. dynamat entire floor before carpet install, back wall as well
12. '03 fog light install

For some reason I dont want to do a little here a little there, I want most of these done within a month of each other. So I have been stock piling parts in my warehouse until Im ready. Should make good before/after pics

My list is longer than yours.
Something I really don't want to think about.
It started small and now is WAY out of hand.

I got a suede that matched my seats for the headliner and visors. Then got tribal flame pattern in them.
