Ok peeps, I want a factory hardtop fiberboard headliner in Graphite. I bought that plastic cr@p headliner as a replacement 2 years ago, sagged 3 inches at the center since it is so heavy, and (yes, thank you F-Body motor sports) after 3 months the replacement headliner started to peel away from the glue around the enclosed t-top regions. Expensive and reeeeeaaalllyy annoying. Of course, no refunds.
Lookin for a nice new graphite bottom seat replacement for my driver side power seat. My garage friend sat in my car the other day and said he felt like he fell into a hole lol. Tryin to do it the cheap way.
I am in Central NJ, so if anyone is around with any new parts or good custom places, let me know.
Thanks for any info

You could try:
http://www.autoseatskins.com/ if the leather needs to be replaced. If the seat merely needs new foam "seat buns", any uphostery shop can make some new ones for you. Unfortunately, the OEM headliner could be very hard to find and you might have to go to an uphostery shop and see what they can about the problem.
IF the leather is in good shape, it can be refinished. Any auto supply paint shop can mix the proper color for you and put it in a spray can. Clean the leather really well, use 2000 grit fine sandpaper on any rough spots--but don't sand bare leather, just clean with a recommended chemical cleaner, and spray several coats followed by a clear coat--end of problem.

heeeeyyy. Whats up bud! And even though the seller on Ebay had poor communication after the sale, he did send me what I asked for, a red aluminum Tbody plate. My rubber factory seal was done as well, his nice vacuum seal was great. Looks good. The SLP air foil helps a bit too (u notice these things with small mods lol).
Looks like I will locate an upholstery shop then, the buns are done.
That piece of junk abs plastic headliner I guess can go there as well, will have to epoxy it at the center to the ceiling or bolt it up there.

Hey, it's Brian! Doing great, thanks...still driving the crapola Civic, but 33 mpg in the city is wonderful (LOL). Was never sure if I could feel a hp change or not with the airfoil, but then installed it just after a Borla exhaust and a K&N filter...if there was a hp change, it was kinda overwhelmed by the Borla and K&N. I figure the airfoil can't hurt, so what the heck. Besides, it looks great and so does the aluminum TB cover.
Howz the engine running?
