The only difference I can see would be the rear pillar removal and how you actually take the headliner out of the vehicle. For that you would have to hit up Ed.
Tools needed:
1) The material you want to use.
2) Headliner glue (Auto parts store, the one I got at pepboys works the best for me but I've used the one from autozone as well)
3) Torqz bits
4) Screw Drivers
5) Stiff bristled brush (fingernail cleaning brush)
6) Razor blades
7) Good hand cleaner (Simple Orange works great)
One thing I have always heard and read was to TAKE YOUR TIME! Don't get in a rush to get it done, give yourself plenty of time to finish what you start.
There is a how too on removing the headliner but I'll post that as well.
Of course you have to remove the pillars.
Pull the weather strip from around the top of the doors, all 4, and part way down as well. The A pillars pull loose then you have a ball stud and a plastic keeper. With your fingers squeeze each side of the keeper and tug lightly to get it all to come loose. This is kind of tricky especially with large hands.

The B pillars are a little more involved. Pop the plastic cover off of the seat belt slider. There is 1 T-50 Torqz bolt that you must pull loose.

Let the belt hang and you will see 2 screws on the bottom section of the pillar. Remove these and the bottom will pull loose at the top. Now underneath you will see another screw. Pull it loose then you can pop the top panel loose.

Here is where everything would be different for the Charger.
The C pillars are even more tricky. I can't give a full write up for them as I noticed afterwards that they were supposed to be screwed in at the bottom but mine weren't. From what I can tell, you will have to fold the rear seat down and pull the sides away to get to this screw. I'm not sure if it's that easy or not but there it is.
