Don't know about the headliner, but I don't see why you can't cut the plastic to accomodate the console. Again, don't quote me on it.
As for your spoiler, as long as the fiberglass isn't cracked, you can repaint it. My spoiler on my camaro was repainted, and will be again soon.

You can repaint your spoiler but it is only a matter of time until it will crack again. Your best bet is to buy an aftermarket fiberglass spoiler for it.

damn that stuff is expensive! I guess I don't really have a choice considering my headliner is cracking and falling apart at the ends. It looks terrible with the t-tops out. Anyone else know where I can find some cheaper headliners? My local salvage yard has nothing.
