I was reaching in the back to grab my hat today, when I did I stuck my cigarette directly into the headliner. It went right above the sunroof controls. This is a eyesore from hell. My car is sunlight silver and the headliner is the whitish grey. Does anyone have any siggestions or a place to get a headliner.

Please help
Josh

 

you smoke inside your car?!

 

Mazda dealer.

I would leave it. You're just going to ruin the next one with all the **** in your cigarette smoke.

 

Soulution: Don't smoke inside of your car. :P Haha, Just kidding. Umm The headliner is going to cost you big time. An upholstery shop should be able to do that for you quicker than going to the dealer.

 

http://www.Worldpartsexpress.com has the following listed.

2004 RX8 (don't know if year matters)

Headliner with no sunroof MSRP $734.85 Your Price $528.96

Headliner with sunroof MSRP $667.55 Your Price $480.54

That should give you an idea of how much it is going to cost from an online retailer

 

holy ****, how could mazda rip us off like that?

 

Leave it there and let it be a sign from above to quit that shiz.

haha!

btw at those prices for the headliner (not including install) you could get the entire thing in sexy suede

 

DUDE!!! I don't even fart in my car!
If I have to fart I will pull over the car, get out fart, walk around the car 3 times and then get back in! I can't even fathom someone smoking in the RX-8

 

I don't even have sex in my car. Course when you're built like an inside linebacker, it's tough in any car......

 

I think the worldpartsexpress link gives you a good idea there... that seems pretty expensive to replace, though.

I would stop by an upholestery shop and ask them what they can do. Maybe they can be creative and make a little something for you up there that will mask it and not look too bad. I bet they deal with that type of thing all the time.

Unfortunately, most posters in this thread are bent on getting you to stop smoking rather than providing assistance...

 

I bet u could get it done by a custom shop for cheaper than mazda would do...

i smack people that even ask if they can smoke inside my car...and if they smell like smoke, they find another ride

 

Yea just posted that to give an idea of a new one, I am sure one from a wrecked car from one of the forum vendors would be a little cheaper.

 

Thanks guys. I came up with an idea to cover it up. I burnt it above the sunroof controls on the left. I am going to use the tabs like in the back that hold up the headliner. I will put one in the burn spot and go over about three inches and put another one. This should cover up the spot and appear factory. On the smoking note, I had almost quit, then I quit my job and started two businesses. For those that know smokers, it is harder to quit when stressed.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
Josh
