Hi, recent purchase with 108,000 miles. Pretty well kept up, one owner, newish tires. Just installed radio, factory speakers until hopefully next week....that's another topic. Needs a headliner, seat covers..small tears in driver seat..mostly want for protection. Driver had a dog and shampooed it...so now it smells like shampoos dog. Needs rear carpet And floormats. Long scratch in hood...another topic for later. Think that's it besides timing belt, tune up and fluid changes.

I'm mostly here for info since I know nothing about these, making friends along the way is a good bonus. I generally assume forums are for discussion, not for responses to "do a search, or look in the manual." I dont google very well, and I dont like waisting time....so that's when I ask questions.

That was long winded, thanks.20210310_182942.jpg

Welcome. If your a DIY'er you could fix headliner for not much. My headliner was sagging on my 2003. I bought new material at JoAnn's fabrics and used scotch super 77 adhesive. You need to pull out headliner base to really do it right. But mine turned out great. The factory only put material to edge. I wrapped mine over about 2 inches. Much better.

Yeah, I am fairly handy, dont rebuild motors but do alot of other stuff. I was debating about it, havent looked into headliner material but may go with something different.

Where I live the walmart sell's thick/thin material with different sport's team's like Raven's/Orioles/Capital's or camo or solid color material , it's alway's worth a look .

Good idea, our wall mart has some stuff. Will need to look. Have a Michael's where we do our mass shopping, they have a ton of stuff. I found some rolls of stuff on ebay that was fair priced, with padding too. My visors are nasty, might redo them too.

If mine was bad I'd probably camo it ! Or find some fabric with CRAB'S on it :p If you plan on keeping the X till it's done then make it your own . I'll drill/cut/mount anything I like cause after me the X would probably only be good for recyclingo_O

Welcome! I have literally never seen anyone here say "do a search". That's one of the best things about us, we like answering questions and seeing pics and progress.
