    Gents,
    Just recieved and installed my new Quilted Headliner and Rear Deck for my 550. Dan at Bradan and his team did a fantastic job with the fit and finish. Even offered to walk me through the install via phone if necessary. But this DIY effort was quite simple and one that I encourage anyone to do if you can't get to Bradan such as myself!

    I have the luggage belts being re-dyed by ReOriginals here in Houston, they do awesome leather work for Ferrari from seat reupholstery to dashes. They tend to specialize in vintage Ferraris.

    The headliner is is of course glued to the roof. There is about a 1 inch foam pad glued to the leather. My headliner was already sagging due to shrinkage and age. All you have to do is remove 4 interior sections that come out quite easily. This included the front molding. Just remove the visors and center console and your done. To install the new headliner by Bradan which comes with a thinner foam liner which is much better than OEM foam requires two people to do it right. Once you get it in the rest of the molding snaps right in!

    Do the 4 pieces pull straight out or are there hidden screws then they slide and unlock like the B piller covers?

    The B-pillars pull straight out as well as the top rear cross member. The pieces lateral pieces above the windows has a hidden screw that is revealed when you pull away the front cross member molding wear the visors are. Just wiggle and remove carefully, if you snap a plastic "male" clip your in trouble. All in all its an easy project.

    Thanks guys!

    No but would be interested in making it if someone wanted to provide a sample.

    The cost of the headliner is $750 and rear shelf is $1,500 with speakers.
