EgoXF 2,026 Posted November 23, 2013 everytime i get into my ute lately the first thing i notice is how shitty my headliner is so i'm looking into replacing it with something custom. the first thing i want to do is get rid of the rods that hold it up there because they shit me to tears and bring the liner a little closer to the roof. i'd like to maybe be able to do it without having to tuck it under the window rubbers which could bring some difficulty but im doing my homework. here's a couple of ideas; I like the bars that go across the roof on this one because it gives it an old school feel and it would be a good replacement for the polls that hold it up. this ones a little more difficult i think but i've noticed that a lot of cars use these solid headliners and i think that if i could make one of these it would work well. i just need to know what they make them out of and how to shape it. i would love to hear any ideas you guys might have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EgoXF 2,026 Posted November 26, 2013 so do the XH's have the solid headliner do they? if so thats awesome, i should be able to make that work the way i want it too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 6,654 Posted November 26, 2013 just be careful as xh use a different roof skin, they are more rounded than xd-g 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EgoXF 2,026 Posted November 26, 2013 yeah I thats one issue i'll have to work out. I'll do some measuring and see if it will fit, otherwise i could maybe do some reshaping. hmmm i wonder if my friends who own alpha Motorsport would make me one out of carbon fiber or fiberglass haha.

EgoXF 2,026 Posted November 26, 2013 yeah i hear you! I found it properly difficult to get the soft headliner back under the rear window rubbers, such a pain in the ass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n00bus m@x1mus 465 Posted November 26, 2013 My 95 XG has a moulded liner, first one ive ever seen but so i dont know of its an XH one or altogether custom. It fitted well but so i dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZXD 2,328 Posted November 26, 2013 I just had a new hoodlining done in my xd sedan, it is still a suspended one, but we used the seat material which is dark grey (same as ve commodore unfortunately) and it looks a shit load better than the original one.

EgoXF 2,026 Posted November 27, 2013 nice work! I'm going to hit the local wreckers tommorow and see what they have lying around, i also know a mate who recently drove his mint XH into the front of a house, so that mint car is now being parted out and I think i might take all of the interior out of it to replace my broken old shitty plastics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EgoXF 2,026 Posted December 4, 2013 just got myself an XH roof liner, a few more materials and i can out my plan into action Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EgoXF 2,026 Posted December 9, 2013 heres my current headliner, you can see now why i want it gone! i liked the stripe that i have put into it but its stretched and ripped by people taking it out and putting it back in again. not to mention i couldn't get it under that rear seal! haha. aaaaaand heres my new xh molded one! heres hoping i'll be able to make it work! haha. the plan is to rewrap it in a vinyl or some other material, i'll figure it out when i get there.

Damo96 93 Posted December 9, 2013 Do you know if the shape is roughly the same? Would look nice in some black vinyl or something, as you said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EgoXF 2,026 Posted December 9, 2013 yeah it should be the same, im still yet to size it up and try it though so who knows. i think the only difference between the xh and xf is the roundness of the roof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted December 12, 2013 This is the roof tray in towtoy. not custom but its ok, looks way better in real life it was dark and that never works for pictures 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
