You'll have to start with a basic, and recover it in your choice. Several around here have done this. Do an advanced thread search for "headliner". If yours is in such bad shape you can't use it, here's one FS. Should ship in a twin bed mattress box, maybe. But you would do better at a local junk yard because of shipping.

well i don't have a sunroof sooooo that won't really do me any good at all lol. mine isn't in bad shape.... i just want a cool one. ergo i'm looking for someone to tell me where to order headliner fabric for not a super amount of money.

Sorry, there was someone who had a damaged headliner WITH the sunroof, in a post last week, and thought you were he/she. Not in vain, however, as I see you have interest in their console.

For what you are doing/want, it should simply be a matter of purchasing a fabric at a fabric store. I'm sure that's what others have done when customizing with patterns, etc. Like I said, do a thread search.

many people on here go to a fabric store like joanns or fabric world. you can also find a fabric you like on ebay and order it from there. you could also just do a google search for the type of fabric you want. just make sure that you get enough of it. hope this helps

Amanda, keep in mind, that although we're always looking for a good deal, don't let a bargain, sacrifice quality. You want a fabric that's gonna not only hold up through the changes in temperature and time, but you want fabric with good thread count/composition/weaving.

As far as finding "actual" headliner fabric in black/yellow argyle.... i think that's gonna be a tough find. Headliner fabric usually comes in solid colors. Your best success will be as Lilu05 suggested, check out a fabric store, at worst, you can order it online. I did a Google search and black/yellow argyle did come up. Some places will even send you swatches.

BTW, here's an orgers headliner in pink argyle, Her screen name is "smartchick2009"
Here's the pic


I hope you find a bargain as well as superior quality.
