Casey's Mugen HT Headliner
For those that don't know or might not remember me as I've not really been active in some time, my name is Gavin. I work at Statesville Custom Auto Trim and as the name implies, we complete full custom interiors. With my addition, the owner has expressed an interest in expanding into the tuner market as well as maintaining our loyal hotrod customer base. With that said, we're looking at doing interior pieces like the A-Pillars, consoles, dashes, etc., etc. I noticed a thread in the Gallery asking about suede headliners for HT's and saw a few pictures which left a lot to be desired regarding the quality and fit and finish of the product.
To refrain from a wall of text, I'll get straight to the point of my post. We want to extend an offer to one person with a hardtop, factory or after-market makes no difference. We would like to offer a free headliner to get our name out on this forum in order to hopefully expand. Feel free to shoot me a PM or just post if you are interested in this thread.
12/17- Got the material in yesterday for Casey's headliner. Have to leave it rolled up until we start working on it but here's a couple pics of the roll:
12/31- Here are a few pics of the top stripped and taped up. We won't be using the tape for Casey's top, but for our template in order to produce and sell the headliners.
As stated, due to business we have to move and since Allen is leaving the 23rd for a week, we had to push the headliner back until the 30th and 31st.
Also, we've been in contact with Colin from Bulletproof to exclusively sell our headliners through them. We would offer a variety of materials and stitching that they would sell with a kit that allows the customer to install the headliner themselves. Pricing is still being worked out as well as to what exactly we're going to offer through them. Keep in mind though that if a top is brought to the shop, anything is possibly for a true one off headliner. With that said, if a customer wants a true one off headliner, then that headliner will not be copied and be unique to that customer and hard top.
12/30/09-Casey dropped off his HT today so I snapped a few pics of his car as well as the HT in the shop. More pics as we begin working on it.

Casey, you have a hardtop? if casey isn't down, I am. Black on Black.
We're leaving it open for the first person that comes by the shop will get it. I just don't want to promise anyone anything through PM's and not be able to deliver. I wish we could get a headliner done for each specific HT, but we just can't. Maybe if this takes off we will but we're just looking for one, and we don't wanna use mine.
