ABS headliners

I re-covered my headliner about 2 days ago and i messed up on it aroudn corners and got glue on the visible part, i will keep it up for a while but im planning on just buying a plastic ABS headliner for T-tops and painting it black. Can anyone tell me where to get the best deal for this?

They seem to be about the same price everywhere I have looked. They usually go for about $140.00 or so. All the links above pretty much are good places to get them.

You can get them for $135 for a buy now price on ebay. You might want to look at a couple places cause some charge more for shipping than others. Good luck and lemme know what you decide.

Im not buying one for awhile, im gonna worry about more important things first, because my cars shocks and suspension suck. my transmission takes awhile to shift gears too, so i think i'll leave this headliner in for awhile. does anyone know how to get the headliner glue off the fabric without melting the foam? i tried acetone and it didnt work too well and it kinda melted the foam. thanx 4 the help.

Has anyone bought one? I want to see what it looks like uncovered in a t-top car. That is how I plan on running it when I eventually get one. My headliner is falling apart around the t-bar.

has anyone removed all the plastic fromtheir car before? i want to replace everything tan with black plastic, thats my seatbelt clips and the plastic that goes behind the sail panels and all around the rear of the car. I just dont like beige enough to have it all over my car. Do you think it would be easy to swap it from a junk car?
