Pick my headliner!!

[SnickerDoodle]

My trucks headliner is sagging something fierce. I found a friend of a friend that is willing to charge me $40 to do the headiner and an additional $75 to do all the door panels, if i wished to do them. I just need to provide the fabric of my choice.

I want to see what ya'll think and help me choose my headliner!

Let the voting begin! :hihi:

It was between the first and the last one for me, but ultimately I had to go with the first one. I like the mostly black with just a touch of pink compared to the others, which seem like they'd overwhelm.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Im torn between the first and the last. I like the destressed look of the last one. Thanks for voting!

 

[Mirage]

Same for me, I like the pink plaid. The material should stretch/lay pretty well, not show any spotting if the glue soaks through, and not be so busy. I don't have a problem with my urban digital camo fabric (extremely busy) while driving, but a few of my friends when riding if they focus on it get a bit woozy.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Nice got any pictures?

 

[RATTFINK]

Went with the Black/Pink Plaid Flannel.

 

[Roadwarrior]

The first one is just classy, I had to go with it, The others are nice, don't get me wrong, but The first will look the best IMHO

 

[Timrich]

I'm going to have to agree with the rest... The first one gets my vote. The others were a bit busy for me. The first one looks to be easier on the eyes as well.

 

[Mirage]

Nice got any pictures?

Thats a good price also, I paid $125 taking my headliner up to the shop with the fabric, but he also recovered the visors.

My trucks red, so its a red urban scheme. The camera didn't focus to well on the first shot, so the second is to show the pattern. There are some faint yellow spots that show through some of the white sections where the glue bled through, but I dare you to find them

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Omg that is totally and awesomely insane!

 

[chuckamazuk]

That looks badass, Mirage! Great inspiration! Rep given.

I chose the 3rd print. Busy for sure; I think it would look sweet!

 

[Mirage]

I love it though i'm not sure what its supposed to camouflage besides possibly winter 1942 bombed out Stalingrad I have gotten crazy attention from it, the guy helping me load the infiniti v8 in the back called over the entire junkyard staff to check it out.

I'll say +1 on fashionfabricsclub.com as well, I have ordered from them a few times, always been cheap and fast.

I like seeing off the wall headliners, a friend wants to do a regular tartan plaid in his 240. I hate foam backed headliner material, junk always lets go when the foam deteriorates. Make sure your friend is using a good glue, most of the off the shelf ones are iffy on long term holding power.

subscribed like WHOA! excellent thread and ideas. mirage, i want to see more of that cb unit mount as well

i am totally picturing this on the headliner of the shortbus...

 

[RATTFINK]

Mirage, How many yards of fabric do you need? I've wanted to redo my headliner for a while now.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

oh nice. I like that for the short bus! and yes, Ratt brings up a great question. lol

 

[Roadwarrior]

I wonder what I could do with a white scheme? hmmm

 

[Roadwarrior]

also what type of fabric are you going to go with? all cotton?

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Beware of white. If you smoke, it will turn yellow. Sun, even when not directly hitting the white, will turn it yellow.

You could possibly see the glue through the white.

 

[Macland]

This thread is getting interesting. I had seen a pic of Mirage's headliner before and it's freaking sweet.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Well I am not going to go for an all white.. but I am wondering what I could go with.

And I don't smoke in my car.. so I don't think that would be a problem.

 

[AaronsX]

hmmm blue...a blue tiger camp would look sick.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

4 is starting to become my favorite.

 

[Mirage]

Mirage, How many yards of fabric do you need? I've wanted to redo my headliner for a while now.

I ordered 4 yards on a 60" wide bolt (make sure what you order is wide enough! Or else you will have to join 2 pieces and have seam somewhere), I have got a good bit left still. If I remember right when I measured it out 3 yards would do the job, but i'd double check before taking my word.

 

[AaronsX]

1 is good but I don't think it fits the rugged xterra
2 belongs in a chicks limo
3 makes me dizzy also and is way to busy
4 got my vote, its got the look I like and that rugged off road sorta fade to it?

 

[Hugetanker]

First one for sure.

 

[BigMeanTam]

I went with No. 4, too - kinda the Girly Lumberjack look. And Mirage - that's freaking COOL!! I hadn't caught a pic before of what you did there. Now I have yet one more X project to ponder.... :smile:

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Thanks for everyones votes! I can't wait to get around to having this done! I think I may splurge and get the door panels done as well. I'm thinking of painting all my plastics (trim, door, etc..) black as well.

 

[AbuseTheElderly]

They all fit you so well, however I picked number 1. Can't wait to see your new headliner!

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Oh boy oh boy! I can't wait to get this done!

 

[Roadwarrior]

Doodle, which one are you leaving towards now? Still 4?

Sent from my chariot to the interwebs

 

[SnickerDoodle]

yea leaning towards 4.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

well, looks like ill be going with number 4! Thank you to everyone for your input!

 

[AZhiAZiAM]

#4 was awesome. if you happen to know were to get Red giraffe print should let me know. been looking for it for EVER and can find every other color but it.

used to be my headliner in my f250

 

[Deltaphi216]

hey, are you ever going to do this>????????

 

[SnickerDoodle]

I will be doing it hopefully in the spring. I have too many events going on currently and needed to fix other things first. But no worries, pics will be post once i do.

 

[Deltaphi216]

psst! it's SPRING!

 

[Roadwarrior]

I agree with DeltaPhi.. it is spring

 

[RANT]

Humnn ?? not sure...

 

[SnickerDoodle]

haha! I know. This project is getting delayed. Upgrading my UCA's and Steering first. That and in the process of looking for a new house so lots of packing and moving stuff.. stuff that doesn't fit in a Lexus, which is the boyfriends car. The X can't be down for a day or two at the moment lol.

 

[Deltaphi216]
