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!

DANG!
I wished the headliner/sunvisor/sail panel combo had been available when I bought mine! Would have saved $100!!

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.
Any tips would be helpful Thanks

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.

Yea, I read that too somewhere that the headlamp area needed to be cut out a bit more to fit.
