Headliner from JCWhitney Cheap but Worth It?
Do the Headliners sold in the JC Whitney catalog last? I need some headliner and it has to be of good quality but has to be cheap (is this a rhetorical question?). I have heard some bad stuff about their products (carpets) and some good stuff (exhaust). I usually like to know something about the product before i plunk down the cash.

Sorry for the delay..
I don't think JC whitney sells any headliner boards, only the fabric. I grabbed a roll and installed it onto the headliner board and sail panels of my hardtop firebird. It came out pretty well, especially for my first headliner. I think the sun visors would be a bit more tricky to cover and I'm not sure if the headliner material could be used for that. It seems to be holding up well so far. Just make sure you get an even coat of glue and give it plenty of time to dry.
Make sure you use a spray type adhesive. That brush on stuff smells terrible and is useless for trying to get evenly coated surfaces.
Take a look at mine if you'd like:
