Default Suede Headliner

So here is the deal guys...i will be picking up a CPO GS350 within the next month and the ONLY thing that bugs me about the car is the silver headliner. I was wondering if anyone has switched it up to a black suade headliner. If so post pictures. If not is it safe to do with the air-bags? And would Lexus let me do it? Thanks for the info.

Here is a picture of a gray one. Much Much better than stock IMO. I need to see how much it would be to paint all the pieces black.

what does suede headliner have to do with your airbags??? suede headliner is a nice touch, if you can afford it, go for it... second, what da hell can LEXUS tell you what to do with your own car, unless you leased it??? i don't understand any of your logic....

Side Curtin air-bags....taking off the headliner might harm it, but i dunno. And if my plastic parts act up, or if i get a rattle somewhere i don't want Lexus telling me that it's due to the headliner.
