    $80 for the professional, with the same or comparable material.:yesnod:

    His glue might be better, and he's used to working with the material/large pieces so less chance for wrinkles, frustration, peeling edges in the future, etc. Plus, if you mess up your material you have to buy more. If he does, it should still be $80 for the job.

    Biggest PITA is dropping the headliner. Which he is putting on you... so why not pay for the peace of mind on the fabric portion.

    Mine is starting to drop too. Might be time to go with that alcantara I've always wanted.

    The guy did a good job on the fabric, it was worth paying him. I did not do the speakers I did not have time to go pick some up.

    Thanks everyone for the help!

    Do they sell headliner fabric without the foam backing? Sure the foam makes it soft to the touch and it sits nice on the headliner board, but it's sure to disintegrate just like the OEM stuff does.

    For those of us who are holding on to our cars and don't want to have to install another new headliner in the coming years, is there a better solution?

    Got the head liner out. Your right what a PIA that was. Now I am thinking, the only stock speakers are the 6X9 rear speakers. I may just change them.
