And has anyone done there own? I left my old one hanging on the rods because I have heard they go in a certain way but, are they hard to install I removed all my glass already and cant assembly anyfarther till I get A head Liner or a Small front bumper and brackets.:cry:

    I just bought one from Autokrafters. I have never done a headliner before and Im still in the process of installing it. I have it stretched up in the car but I have not glued the sides in yet its just attached with windlace. Just thought it made sence to let it set in for a few days and then I would re-stretch it in before glueing. Anyhow I dont have much to compare it to since this is my first headliner but it seems real nice. Everyone said not to do it yourself but I like being able to say I did it myself and dont mind doing things twice when I screw them up. So far its been fairly easy to work with, just take your time with it. Autokrafters headliner have lots of material to work with on the edges and the sowing lines are very nice. Material was the same as the original too.

    Did you need any special tools to install it?

    Just good glue, a razor blade, and cloths pegs.
    I did my own, slowly over a few days, it streched it untill I was happy with the way it looked.
