Default AU Roof lining

Hey guys

My roof lining is looking a lot worse for wear (Sagging, so on so forth), so I'm thinking of getting a fresh one put it. I was wondering if anyone had a picture of an AU falcon with a black roof lining? I'm thinking of going black to freshen up the interior a bit, but I would like to see it done first.

Also, I'm thinking of replacing the bulbs in the sunglasses holder with whiter LEDs - what sort would I need to go with?

Thanks guys,
Ben.

I have a black roof lining in my ute, looks ridiculously good, particular at night. However I still have the pillar trims in the original tan colour, so i'm looking at dying those black soon. I would recommend it but as always each to his own.

If I find time tomorrow i'll take a photo for you and send it your way.

Yeah that would be good to see a picture.
If you say it looks good I might just go ahead and do it, not sure as to how difficult it would be to make the pillar trims - also would it possibly make the interior too dark to have everything in black?

imo, yes. i hired a V8 Caprice the other week and it had black rooflining, and with the sunroof closed i found it kinda weirdly dark. i didn't care for it.

Here's a few of mine, was at night so it doesn't look as good as it does during the day.

If the rest was black, then it would suit, but that doesnt look good at all.

like I said earlier, I plan to dye all other trims black when I find the time and effort required.
