If you already have a stock one, you can cover it in black felt yourself for about $20 and half an hour of your time.. I did mine, and you would never tell a difference - looks completely stock. Just throwin it out there.

cool idea... mine is tanish, whatever that usual colour for headliners... I was thinking of dying it? but felt seems a better idea. You just glue it on?

Yup... I've heard baaad things about dying it. Pick up spray fabric adhesive from walmart for like $8/can, head over to fabricland and pick up the amount of black felt you need. Ended up costing me like $14 for fabric.

For the price I ended up paying, made a HUGE difference in the interior appearance of the car.. Paint up the pillars with Krylon Fusion Black, and you're good to go.. If you have any other questions ask away.

yep this is the way to go... just make sure you don't buy too heavy a fabric... LOL my first attempt was disastrous since I used a synthetic leather and it sagged as soon as it got hot outside :?

and that krylon fusion paint is the best for interior plastics!!!

oh you have a 94 model... I'm not sure about painting the handle... I guess it would work...

I painted my dome light surround black and it turned out well... I'm really not sure about the visors - I cut out material but I think it will look like crap since it has to be wrapped around... :?

I had the handle - just took it off and laid the fabric over top. Covered the hole up perfectly, and you'd never know there's a hole there. Rear view should already be black and the dome light can be easily painted black. As for the visors, I have heard of somebody on here dying them with fabric dye and it turned out okay... I'm planning on molding new ones and wrapping them in carbon fiber eventually :D
