New Headliner

My headliner has been falling for a while now but has gotten much worse lately. I was wondering where the best place to get a new one would be? Does GM still make them or are there better companies to get one from?

Check the links at the top of the page. They are about $250 I think. It can't be too hard to do it your self. If you can find a place that will do it for $100 thats a damn good price.

Total i believe i paid just under $125. Its not OEM though, i believe the "kits" they sell in the links above are OEM and thats why they are so damn much. I know for a fact that i do not get asked, "hey man, nice headliner, is that OEM?" lol So i did not care! It looks professional, stock, and the color matches up as well.

I know for a fact that when I am in my Z my headliner is not the topic of conversation. Well it has been lately because it is hanging down. I don't think to many people care if the headliner is OEM or not. Where did you get your headliner from? Hawks has one that is plastic but it doesn't say if it is just an insert and then you add the cloth. I would like to get one that is not cloth. Does anyone know where I can find one like that?

I don't know where they got it from. As far as i can tell its just matched up fabric attached to my stock headboard! It was in really good shape, not torn, ripped, or broken at all. I think they just took off the stock fabric, matched colors with what they had, and applied it to the stock headliner. It was an upholstry shop that works on custom interiors of vehicles. Came out good, thats why i am guessing it was only like $125, b/c they really didn't replace anyhting! I think that clears things up a bit. good luck

Well pardon me for having surgery last week. I was in no condition to spend all night searching the boards when I posted this. Anyway, I should have been more specific. Is there any place in the central Iowa area to get one or will I have to order it like previously suggested?
