ACME Auto Headlining Co. in Cali

I am in the market to purchase a brand new ABS headliner fully clothed and "computer" measured cutouts already made. Question: Is this too good to be true? I am really attracted to the idea of not having to measure and cut the holes for sunvisors, belts, etc. but I also don't want to buy it if they are just all talk.


Anyone else bought anything coming out of this place? Thanks.

Re: ACME Auto Headlining Co. in Cali

ACME is company in Long Beach, CA and it is the only manufacture who sell those abs headliner. all the headliner you find on ebay is made by ACME. this company does not sell to public. there is cut out for a doom light, seat belt and sun visors. but if you have overhead counsel, you need to cut the extra holes . The fit is ok, and it is not the greatest, I sill have some gaps around the t top. I hope this will help

Like he mentioned, everybody's ABS headliners are made by Acme. Here's a tech article I wrote that covers the installation of a t-top headliner:

Re: ACME Auto Headlining Co. in Cali

I've got a hard top and no overhead console. Might this improve my chances of it fitting nicely? Thanks for the replies.

Re: ACME Auto Headlining Co. in Cali

The hardtop headliners generally fit very well, but you'll probably still need to address the sagging near the windshield.

Re: ACME Auto Headlining Co. in Cali

What exactly do you mean by "sagging"? The headliner is too big? It doesn't have adequate reinforcement by the windshield?
