UPDATE!!! Sueded Headliner and SLP Grille finished! :D (many pics)
Let me start off by thanking Enzo for the tips and time he provided to answer my questions :thumbsup:
So i finally finished up the monte today. Got the headliner all done and installed 2 days ago, also did some painting for my slp grille install. Decided to paint the surround on the grille to match my car and aslo painted the bottom grille black to resemble the one that SLP makes, turned out pretty good Also resprayed the plate filler with the correct white this time :p, ehh looks a tiny bit off still but better than it was before :thumbsup: Decided to debadge the monte too, hmmm what else...... :confused: Anyways here's the pics.. lol Enjoy all of the headliner, visors and slider were done by yours truly ;) Let me know how she looks (monte) She's naked!! :eek: lol http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/ad51a966.jpg Came out pretty easy http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/1ff1747b.jpg Here's my visors taken apart, i must say these are fairly easy to take apart, i experimented with the GP ones i had first so i knew what i was doing after that http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/ff4295cc.jpg Sunroof Slider with plastic vent off http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/167c897d.jpg Measuring and trimming how much will be needed :) http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/3bd768bd.jpg Decided to go with Flat black on all the trim pieces :thumbsup: http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/6125fe7a.jpg AHHHHH So sweet!!! :D http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/364f2a30.jpg Finished the slider! :) http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/7569f0a3.jpg I screw it back on with tiny screws and washers :p http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/a152de2b.jpg |

I did it myself becus there was no way I was goin to pay $300+ for a shop to do it lol |
I'm not sold on the suede, something I think I'd have to see in person.
Everything looks great though! |

thanks man, i was thinking that but the sun would probably eat up and fade it so i just decided not to :o

I'm impressed. . . .looks like you dis a grade A job on everything. I really wanna make my headliner black but i don't think i'd like the suede. It looks great but once someone puts a finger on it it'll show and look weird until i smooth it all back out. either way GREAT job.

But that gives you the perfect excuse for another alteration - install window tint, right? ;)
It's only 25% in the back Plus I don't think the fabric would adhere on the carpet material very well. It probably could be peeled off but the speaker deck seems very fragile lol

Wow... you really did a knock-out job Frank! This will likely inspire many more member to try this.
Thanks for photographing and sharing. Not enough credit can be given to our members who do these photo editorials. In my many projects I've tried multiple times to "photo the whole thing" only to give up on photoing half way through cause I'm too greasy or just to into trying to finish what I'm doing and don't want to take the time out to capture the step |
