Another Before/After Headliner Post

I finally got the headliner in, and its looking excellent!

Before:

After:

Some of you are gonna look at this and immediately think, "Hey, wait a minute, he removed his overhead console". All I can say is, HECK YEAH I DID! I think the overhead console is terrible, I really don't know why anyone would want one in their car. The only thing it was good for was an ugly sunglasses holder. The overhead console really didn't work well for my vision of the car being more high-tech. This car needs to shed any affiliation with the 80's and that overhead console SCREAMED 80's.

I got the headliner/sail panels/visor's from Hawks. Its backed by ABS plastic, Medium Dark Grey material. ~$250 + ~40 shipping. Took about 2-3 weeks to get here. I don't remember when I actually ordered it and recieved it

Looks awesome. A new headliner really makes the whole car look better.
