Its not realy that hard but there was an issue with the dome light hole, when you get the headliner you have to cut it bigger if you have map lights or overhead consil but if you have the regular dome light it will work but you have to mount the dome light backwards i did tho have a prob with the suvisor holes they did not cut the hole big enogh.. but overall its not that hard if you know what you are doing here is some pics of it..

I am a dealer for those ABS headliners and I had the same problem. I didnt see it as a big deal since I have map lights on my mirror to light up the front seats and reversing the dome light now puts light in the back seats, I l;ike it better I think...

what i did sence i had the dome light with map lights is i tossed the one with map lights away and went to the junkyard and got a regular one as you see in the pic above and mounted it backwards the map lights were never were that bright anyway and the one with the map lights the dome light cover would never fit on it and it was not the cover cuse thats the one im using on the new one but I recommend the ABS headliner
