CT Custom Headliner

So Im planning on doing a plaid headliner in my s4 rx7. Not concerned with opinion just curious if anyone else has done this regardless of style some pics of anyones before and after would be cool. Also any advice to prevent snags in project time would be appreciated.

An FC headliner is real easy to get out. 3M spray glue, make sure to get the heavier duty stuff. It's much easier than a VW, especially an 03+ MKIV.

FC headliners are easy to remove, just be careful of all the plastic that is incredibly brittle. It's just waiting for a chance to break and you touching it is all it needs.

I thought about it. I had a huge piece of charcoal grey suede when I worked at my old job that I was gonna use but my stock headliner was perfect so I couldnt justify doing it. I also had a sunroof to contend with that turned me off the idea.
