I bought the fabric from a local fabric store..i think it was somewhere around $40 for the fabric (with plenty left over), i also used about 1 1/2 cans of the 3m spray glue (mentioned earlier in this thread).
Fairly easy job, and well worth it!

I'm in the process of re-doing mine right now. Materials cost me about $100 but it's not a difficult job. 99% of the foam came off very easily with a stiff-bristle brush, and the last 1% just needed a little elbow grease. I need to iron the fabric before spraying each surface and applying it. We have storms coming this afternoon, so I might wait to do that another day so that I don't rush it.
I had to iron mine too cause it was folded in half and rolled around a cardboard thing.. (like any other fabric)- no biggie..
dont rush it, i did mine on a sunny day and laid it out in the sun for about 30 min to let the glue really stick!
good luck

You said you dynomatted it? How much did that cost and how hard was it? Cuz I had to take my headliner out cuz the fiberglass board was flaking and falling on the dash everytime I opened the windows or shut doors. So I can't do a new headliner unless I get a new board. And I wanna insulate it.
Yeah my sub made my roof rattle.. the dynomat was awsome and took care of that problem! i bought it on ebay if i remember right.. it was a while back but i think i paid somewhere around $80. rolled it on myself and i must say it came on really nice! i will post a pic in a few minutes.
good luck!

That is a sweet headliner! Nice job. That's given me an idea on doing a Bob Marley theme in mine. In fact...that's going to be my next project!
I'll get on this as soon as I have some cash to my name...same time next year?
LoL...I'll see if I can get started on it by next weekend. Biggest problem will be finding the right print...we'll see.

i just turned up the music till it started to vibrate so i could find the exact spots then put the dynamat wherever needed. but depending on the location of your vibration some areas in the hatch are harder to access! i will try and get some pics up asap of the area i did. hopefully it will help you some

sounds very similar to this dynamat material.. did you roll it on with a roller or just press it on with your hand. just trying to get an overall idea.. any pics?
thanks for the replies
