Anyone done anything creative with the headliner? My buddy put a carbon fiber headliner in his Civic. I know this may sound a little ridiculous but I think a carbon fiber headliner for the KJ would be sweet.

Inputs?

Maybe I missed the answer to this question, but did you remove the old fabric from the headliner before you glued on the new?

no, I dont think he did, and I didnt, but the glue he used didnt seem to work as good for me and about a week later after I did mine I found some headliner glue that I think would have worked better, I think it was at walmart where I saw it

I paid $35 shipped for 54"X60" (3.5yards by 60"wide)
I got my suede here for $6.98/yd:

but the stuff I got isnt real suede its faux suede but it was cheaper than any real suede I could find and I cant really tell the difference
