I love the link doing a DIY would not be hard you can buy enough carbon fiber fiberglass weave for about 40 dollars to do the job so all you would have to do is take out your headliner strip off all the old material apply an adhesive get a few guys to help stretch it out right staple it to the top side of the headliner and then use a resin mix and let it cure for a few days. If you look up basic diys for patching fiberglass boat holes it's the same principle just minus alot of steps. I definentley like the site and the innovation but somone on a budget could still obtain this look with a little reading and research. that would also open up the doors to doing colored fiberglass carbon fiber weave cheapley you could integrate a logo or do a center stripe in red blue or yellow and black which is a fiberglass kevlar mix which would be stronger overall. there are some DIY links on scionlife to a ford focus forum that shows how to do it step by step maybe somone could write up a diy here.

:blink2: Carbon Fiber is a pain to work with doesnt lay down like fiber glass mat does unless u have a access to a vacuum pump to suck all the air out of the piece ur puttin the resin and carbon fiber on cause air bubbles show up real well in the resin since carbon fiber is black.

dueley noted about the small bubbles you are correct but for the XA a DIY may be the only route so I had to throw it out there.
