a lot. lol.

stockinteriors.com has a DIY kit, their biggest size should fit. Only problem is it looks like their beige won't match so I'm gonna go with black.

I'm doing mine this weekend, something special too. There is a place on ebay that sells the material for Discovery's. They said it had to be 65" wide. I measured mine and I came up with 60" (D2). They also said that could not be over 1/8" thick (I think), because of sunroofs (if you have them). I have two, but don't see where the thickness would make a difference, as the aperature is seperate and seems to have plenty of room for a thicker headliner. Will let you all know how it goes.
