black headliner?

has anyone re-wrapped the headliner in black at all? it doesnt look like it would be too complicated, other than forming all the little curvatures... what is everyones thoughts on the idea?

People have done it. I have seen suede several times on our car and on many G35's.

I don't have any pics but I'll snap some with my iPhone real quick. I left the khaki plastics untouched. Would love to paint them but have never got around to it.

Thanks, I just dont know if I'd want to do like a gloss black, or a matter black, something that would just make them look like they were originally black plastic.

I'm also planning to do this. I know the oem headliner is about $680. But its precut. All you have to do is install it. what kind of material should I get for the headliner? Vinyl or leather?

That looks awesome, but I'd want a little lighter, more greyish than black.

Bump for the black plastics info!
