The Kit works good, i had to modify it to work with my tensioner setup

As we all know, Gm uses Miles of plastic on the inside of the cars and the trucks they produce, espically in the 90's and the 2000's Most of the higher end cars that are out there have a "softer" look in the inside with more fabric or material used in place of the hard to touch plastics.

I took the "softer" approach in the interior, so that leads us to this project.

First off I choose this material.



Its a non foamed backed headliner material in a Med Dark Neutral color that is a GM Spec. the Color of my bonneville is Med Neutral. So this color is slightly darker and matches the rest of the Theme in the car. The Sun Visors, the Overhead consoles, the Vanity Mirrors and the overhead oh chit handles are all a Dark Neutral Color out if other H Bodies (Lesaber and the Aurora)

So on to the Process. Notice the Camera washes out ALOT of the color

C pillars First

I has a spare set so i first modified them with some Aux lights that the Aurora has near the C pillars.

Outline


template




and the Cut


Finished Product (before wrapping) I need to get the correct push switch color




C pillars.

Starting wrapping





and finished all wrapped up




Installed




B pillars


they needed separated first to do it correctly




starting wrapping




and BAM installed

Pillar Pod. this was an extreme Pain in the Ass. there are so many bends, and it took a few days to plan this one out and get it finished.

One of the first places glued


and the look at that point.


there are really no progress pics. Once you start, there is no stopping







Holes Cut and ready for install






Installed with the gauges
