Headliner Options - Post some pics, Please!

[DoubleNickels]

Hey everyone

I'm wondering if you all could post some pictures showing what (if any) alternatives you've come up with for the inside "ceiling" of your piggies? I have a headliner I may install (albeit used and somewhat crusty), but I'd like to see what else you've come up with.

Thanks!

Calvin,

I never liked the headliner in the 55, so I sprayed Lizard Skin products on the roof for sound deadener and heat reduction. After the Lizard Skin I sprayed Monstaliner, a bed liner product that was color tinted to match Cygnus White. I added a few support bars and various switches, lights, etc.

I read this topic and the first coolest roof that I would have recommended was already there. SCRAPPDADDY

 

[DoubleNickels]

Haha, agreed it is VERY cool. However, I'm still hoping other people post up some pics!

Thanks guys,

It's very quite inside, but I have that same treatment on all the metal, floor, doors, fenders and hood. I might have shot myself in the foot though, I can actually hear my wife talking as we drive cross country!

EDIT...I should have said on the INSIDE of the doors and fenders.

Love to see all these ideas on here, always gets me thinking.

Cruisercorps.com has headliners on sale right now for $152. Either black fabrics or the offwhite vinyl. I bought the vinyl but am not to the point of installing mine yet. I need to buy rear cargo window rubber first.

I found a place online called WLS headliners. It's 64" wide and $17.50 per yard. Three yards shuold be plenty, which would be under $60. Long way from being to that point, but seems reasonably priced.

remember somebody would have to sew in the support rod pockets. Not a big deal, I guess if you have a sewing machine.

My wife has a couple of sewing machines. She used to do the interiors on VW's her ex worked on.

Lucky man! Not happening in my house, I have a hard time getting a button sewed on.

Cool stuff, keep it coming, everyone.

Nothing too crazy, just added an extra dome light in the back. It had a broken switch so I slaved it to the front.

Is this the cruisercorps headliner? Any one have pics of theirs installed?

I think that came from SOR, and my 40 headliner came from Cruiser Corps.

Wherever you get a headliner, make sure you take it out and lay it flat for several days before trying to work with it!
