Looks good....was just quoted $600 to have the headliner in our old P38 replaced from a local upholstery shop. Daughter drives it now and when the windows are down or sunroof open - it pretty much just fills with air. If you lived close I'd give you a retainer.

I'm living in Florida now. If you're in the area, I'll do it for you.

I liked the contrast of the black with the mocha suede. I have some leftover suede which I might use to wrap the pillars.

Where did you find 58" material? I went to Joann and several other fabric stores and the widest I can find is 54". Does anybody know if 54" will work? It looks close to me.

I heard you have to have 60 inches... but it depends on the make model... just an fyi... might need to go to a real upholstery supply shop to get one big enough

I wish
Haha. You know, it's amazing how much power people hold with a little bit of knowledge... I wonder how many people your local upholstery shop has ripped off doing headliners.
To anyone interested in the South Jersey or surrounding areas, I'm hereby offering my services as a headliner repairer!
I'm capping the price tag of the job at $200 plus material cost. I'll remove the headliner, clean it up, reupholster it, and reinstall it. I'll also remove the pillars, strip them, paint them, and reinstall them.
Someone let me know if that's asking too much
