Default Need headliner advice ..

I want to re-do my headliner to look as stock as possible...

... yeah yeah I know doing something other than stock would look great .. like black, green, yada yada, but its my car and I want to keep it looking stock and clean .. so..

.. where can I find material that is near to the beige (or whatever the color is) stock headliner?

Any advice on keeping it looking stock is welcomed.

Where do you live? I know two companies in The Los Angeles, Ca. area.

One is Veteran Co. Veteranonline.com. They are in L.A. 323/937-2233. They have vinyl, uphostery and carpet supplies for Mercedez, BMW and VW.

The second one is Keyston Brothers in Glendale, Ca. 818/243-3222. They carry supplies for a wide variety of marques.

Sorry about that. Go to a car uphostery shop in your area. They will have catalogs for headliner material for most major car manufacturers. If you don't want to have them do the work, maybe you can talk them into selling you the materials and you can do it yourself. I, myself, would not want to do the headliner. Tough job.
