You can diy it. I did mine in suede purple. You got to pull the abc pillars of. The headlining is held up by the sunvisors and the grab handles.

Stick it up in cosmetic matters. There is a member who specialises in retrimming etc but cant remember their company name. The superhero type ones are diy as they are just single quilt covers bought from anywhere. Dunno if a trim specialist will do this, but bear in mind you would have to leave your car with them, so 'not got time' would leave you without a car for the day anyway.

I did mine with faux leather and painted the grab handles to match along with black visors. The glue used is very important.
