Default suede interior swap

Looking to swap out my cloth headliner, pillars etc i thought it would be a great idea to disconnect my SRS airbags lol but don't know how i would go about doing so.. Would love for some help or ideas on this topic.



THANKS!

Yea wrapping the parts really isnt that hard. One tip when you do it, Do not pull the material. Lay it down because if you have any tension it will come up later. I did all pillars, sunroof, and headliner

Yea if I would do it again I would do it all grey because the black is DARK inside. So dark I'm going to lighter tint.

That looks good. Was there a DIY guide you used? The one I saw on my.is had dead links for all the pics.
