for those of you whom have it, please post a good-lighting pic if possible. are you happy with it and does it look decent?
anyone try the plastic dash "cover" from hawks? i'd love to see pics of it and hear some reactions.
I've had the ABS headliner in my car for 2 years (no pics) and I have no complaints at all. It's held it's shape perfectly, the fabric hasn't faded (black - in Florida sun!), and it fit perfectly right out of the box!
Yes I also have an ABS headliner and it is fantastic! I will try and get some pictures up tommarrow. It is an amazing change from the stock headliner. And it looks like its gonna last longer than the car! I really reccommend getting one if you need to replace the headliner. You will love it!

i was under the impression that the headliner was uncovered. maybe i just had a blonde moment, but i didn't realize they covered it in fabric. okay, i just checked their ad and it's official- i'm an idiot thirdgen should go back down so i can get some sleep again
Hahaha, if you are considering buying a new headliner, get an ABS one. You will be shocked at how great they look, and at how simple they are to install. NO GLUE! That was the main thing I was worried about. I got the T-Top Kit though, which means that I got the headliner and matching sail panels and sun visors! I reccomend the kit because then everything will match perfectly! You won't regret it! And I promise I will try and get you some pics of my headliner, sail panels and sun visors. Your right about the board. I loose sleep over this damn thing every night!
|EDIT|: By the way, is your car a hardtop or t-top? Not that it matters, just curious!

DocHoliday: I also have a t-top model Z and was wondering how you got everything to fix tightly. I have installed my ABS headliner and love it, but the front doesnt fit snug for my liking.
I'd suggest trying a little velcro to hold it near the windshield. You can use double-backed tape too, but velcro is a better idea incase you need to remove the headliner in the future.

I just did a quick search, because I too am in need of a new headliner and thinking about the ABS, and came up with this link to pictures of a T-top headliner installed. It is from Kerryismygirl89, and was an older post from 2003. If you wantedto do the search, I searched "ABS Headliner Pictures" in titles only, and came up with 2 results, both had pictures of this.
Ah!! That pic reminded me - the dome lamp needs to be reversed for this headliner as mine had the cut-out too far forward. My solution was, get a different domelamp.
