The company does say that these will work on a '98. I know that there are differences between them and the '99s, and I wonder what those differences would do to the mold. I've heard of a '98 getting a fiberglass headliner, but I don't know what company they got it from. But I heard that there were fitment issues along the sides. I mentioned that to this shop, and they said that they would fix any problems that may come up. They said the only vehicle they've had fitment issues with over the years was a Japanese car, and they eventually learned how to make a filler for the trouble spot. So along those lines, I do believe it would work. A '98 may take 1 extra step, but that's just a maybe.

As for covering, I think the idea behind these (at least the reason I want it) is that you paint it, and never again have to worry about fabric becoming unstuck. It is a direct replacement for the fiberboard but comes in bare gelcoat that would have to be painted by you after you received it.

I hope I didn't overload you too much with details, I just want to make sure you understand everything about it! Please let me know if you'd still like to get in on it!
