Default New headliner

Does anybody know where i can buy a replacement headliner for a sunroof 1999 ti? I am repairing mine, but it doesn't look so good, so I might opt for a new one. I have searched oemparts, and found one on pelican parts for 280 buckas, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one for cheaper.

I got the foam from JoAnns. unfortunatly my local store has sold out all their heavier fabrics to make way for lightweight spring and smmer stuff. When I get home tonight, I wil get you the webaddress of the place got the fabric itself from. I got a great deal too

yea, I tried using the original sheet of fabric, and it shrunk when I did the heat bond thing, so now it doesn't cover the entire headliner, and looks like crap. so I am prolly gonna sew some black cloth around the outside of the headliner for a temporary fix. I'm getting kind of tired of not having the headliner in.

I got my fabric from an online place called "Fashion fabrics club" and the price was about half of what JoAnn's was going to charge me (when they had microsuede) so I got 5 yards.. this allowed me to do the headliner, the four pillars (still waiting to do the A pillars) and the sunroof cover.

I am glad I bought more than I needed, I would up wasting a yard due to my rushing things. And that is my advice to you.. do NOT rush things. Take your time and when you start laying the fabric down, do about 4 inches at a time.

A local place here will do it for $225, so I would rather not bother with the tedious work...mine is pretty bad too haha.

I didn't find it tedious, but then I am sick bugger who enjoys most aspects of working on a car.
