OK some .. most would think im crazy i see it turnin out awsome, Any way my headliner is not falling but im sure over time it will and there is a few places there the water from rain has stanied it a little, so at first i was gonna get black suede since the guy only charges 100 bucks i was like what the hell black would look nice. But then i started thinking what about 3m ni-doc carbon fiber vinyle. i mean i have never seen that done before. the whole inside roof carbon sweet. so i ordered a sample pc today to give to the guy putting it in to make sure it will work with no problems. I know its kinda ballzy but i think it could and should turn out awsome

 

I considered doing this. I purchased the 3M di-noc, the adhesive prep and I have stripped the headliner board surface clean, very time consuming. My concern is I believe the interior acoustics will change in a negative way. Headliner material has a foam backing I believe reduces "noise". Also, I think the plastic trim panels will not fit as well against a headboard without the foam backing. Am I wrong?

 

Your concerns are mine as well, im not worried about the noise since if it got bad i would take it back out and put some dynamat on the othere side, as for the trip the foam is very thin. when you press on on it barly moves so i dont think you will notice it. also i did notice the trip panal's push the little bit of foam it does have flat any way so i figred it would still sit flat. i guess we shall see i have made up my mind

 

Keep us posted on the progress.... and don't forget the pictures !!

 

Sounds like an interesting undertaking, keep us posted.

 

Most people on here want a stock, I say go for it make it different!

 

any update on this??

 

I haven't attempted it yet. There are some compound curves in the front corners of the headboard and it's been pointed out to me (by Beaner) that the di-noc may not stretch enough for an acceptable fit and even if it did adhere when applied it may have too much tension on it and pull away in warmer temps. Recommendations from experienced folks would be appreciated.

 

All you can do is try.. If it doesnt work then at least you know it wont be expensive to fix. Then you can get a nice suede headliner up there

 

you can get the cf fabric, looks better than the di-noc and uses spray adhesive like any other fabric.

I bought a nice amount of it and it was a little cheaper than the di-noc as well. the quality of it looks great, i think it looks more like real cf than the di-noc does.

let me know and i can try to dig up the link were i bought it from. it is easier to work with than the 3m stuff too.

 

Sounds like a great solution........I'd appreciate the link to where you got it from

 

+1 for sure

 

I believe he is talking about Neffy Wrap.

purchased it here, recommended to me by several bmw guys: carbonmonster888 items - Get great deals on items on eBay Stores!

i use # 77 3m spray adhesive from Lowes for about $8 a can. A can of the spray adhesive lasts forever.

 

Very nice !!
