Default Good source for headliner material?

I'd rather use fabric than paint. Does anyone have a good source for the fabric and glue? Thanks!

I have the epsom green truck with the tan leather interior, im about to re-do my tan headliner with this
http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Ki...Desert-Digital
its 1000 denier desert digital camo fabric. The issue is, bill says for the D1 if you want a continuous run of fabric, side to side, you need a 64" wide bolt of fabric, that bolt is not 64" so im going to have to order double the length and run an element down the middle to in order to hide the seam. I'm going to scrub the foam off the headliner board and 3m (medium duty, possibly heavy beacuase of how heavy the 1000d fabric is (any input?)) adhesive spray the 1000D fabric straight to the headliner, eschewing the foam as that is what causes the headliners to fail in the first place. It's gonna be flipping sweet.

Questions, ask bill, he literally knows everything about these trucks headliners

He sells legit kits, like oem type stuff. You'll get the foam backed fabric (which is also important because it allows a degree of stretch when laying the fabric AND hides the imperfections that are intrinsic to your fiberglass headliner tray). If youre concern is looks, get it from him, it'll have everything you need down to the cans of adhesive and the foam backed headliner will make sure your truck looks official. I dont really care about that, i just want it to look sweet, so im going a little overboard.
