The material used for the head liner is a foam-backed light vynil on a moulded corrugated cardboard backing. I've glued new vynil to the backing in my car.

I reckon black and red would look weird.

The flames are done by cutting out the shape in foam, gluing it to the backing with contact adhesive, then gluing your choice of material over that.

i plan on doing this at some stage shortly, not sure of the specific detail. but if i get the chance i'll post some pics etc.

dont be scared to try something new either, if your ideas are sensible and well put forward it shouldnt matter how profesional it looks at least you can say you were innovative.  :)

good luck with it all
