Nice work. I'm nowhere nearly as crafty to do something like that. Here's my headliner. Best pic I got at the moment. I didn't think about the white when putting it Into a vehicle that gets dirty every weekend lmao.

Yea, I could see that getting pretty dirty. At least if you roll it, you can play checkers.

You have too much free time on your hands. This would be a great idea for anyone who pulled back seats and sleeps in their Cherokee when camping.

Hancock fabric had the largest selection in my area.

Any actual photos? The vid doesn't show them very well, I feel. Also, why not 12v LEDs so you wouldn't have to deal with the inverter?

Im thinking of doing something similar on one of my cars. I'd do it with fiber optic similar to how its done in the Rolls Royce Wraith, all the atmosphere without that giant price tag haha

Very cool, I love the creativity! And I'm sure the ladies will too. Any concern with it getting too hot? No pun intended, haha.
