Ok guys I'm looking for some suggestions and such. I've decided that I'm going to further my basic sewing abilities and practice so I can re-upholster my car. I'm thinking I'm going to do a temporary black vynal theme to replace all the upholstery on the seats and in the door-pad things, along with the visors and headliner. This will set me so I can save up for leather when the car becomes a real project.

I do have a few questions though, and if anyone has suggestions please post them, I'm pretty much a noob at this stuff. For the headliner I thought it would be cool to have like fiber-optics in it...like make the black headliner with the ends of the fiber in it to look like stars ya know? Anyone have ideas on how to make it work and look good? I mean i have some ideas but I just don't know if they're feasible.

When redoing your headliner ect. be sure to use automotive grade adhesive, I prefer spray on so it goes on evenly and not to thick. If you have a moonroof you'll need to remove that after the headliner to get the fabric that slides. Also be careful when removing headliner, you must first remove A-pillar and side sections in rear as well as the the rear seats. Good luck and pm me with any more Q's.
