As everyone here knows, the idea of getting rid of the Honda has been come up time and time again. It almost came to fruition last week as I was on my way to trade it in for a new to me 2006 BMW 3 Series. Nevertheless, that deal fell through which left me questioning what I really wanted to do. As you also know, I stripped out most all of my mods and put the car back to stock and have not really put much thought into the car.

Well as the title of the thread says, I may be in some serious trouble. As some of you know, my headliner has been hanging down and driving me crazy. After the deal fell through on the new to me ride, I decided that it would be in my best financial interest to just keep the Accord and fix some of the things that have been driving me nuts. Well, I received the car back today after being gone a week at one of my favorite local auto customization shops and the below pictures are the results of the new modification. Yes, it is a new type of plush suede material, the entire headliner, visors, and pillars were done.

The scary part is that the mod bug has hit me hard and I want to do all sorts of new things to the car now. I am in trouble I think. I might be looking at new suspension, exhaust and intake. After taking everything off the car, to start putting back stuff....oh my. First picture is a clean, detailed version of the car.

Nice! I personally would've gone with black suede or w/e material that is LOL, but still looks super clean!

Some of the time was waiting for a new material that had built in padding. So I dropped the car off to get the work done, but they could not really finish it until obviously they had all the material. They did an amazing job. Pictures do not do it justice.

Tein suspension anyone? hmmm....

Sweet man!!  I like it a lot.  I wish I could get something like that done.  Actually, I wish I could do that myself.  That shop needs to give me a job.  I think you should get Tein's man.  There's a guy in south FL that's selling his SS.  I want to get them, but can't afford to right now.  I think you should.

Honestly the pictures do not do it justice. It is far nicer looking in person. As for cost, it was too much, but with Honda wanting $700 to replace just the headliner, I figured I might as well pay similar and get it done nicer.
