Black sunshade
Since the double din project is over I finally got a chance to take down and refinish the sunshade. I tried to get the original vinyl but beaverton upholstery couldn't get it so i settled for a black. Opinions...

Cool, thanks for opinions. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, like maybe too much black and grey contrast in the car. But the more I look at it the better it looks if that makes sense.
No dip. I stripped the old liner off, used 3m adhesive remover till I got clean bare fiberglass.(almost a whole can, the factory glue was awesome, had the foam not failed the liner would have been there forever) Then light sand with some 180 grit, another clean, then glued down some medium foam backed headliner with 3m 08088. Hardest part was getting the handle to come apart and taking the vents in and out without breaking them. Took about 5 hours in total and ~$40 dollars
