Looking for a new headlines

Post by Trokita101 »

Hi guys,

I am currently looking for a new headliner. What do you guys think about LMC and Dennis Carpenter? Thanks for the help.

Hi,..

Do you have the original?

If so, this is what I did with mine. I bought some black felt and glued it to the original fiber board. Screwed it back in place and "WaaLaa". dun

Received the perforated headliner from Dennis-Carpenter for Christmas. Installed in a couple of months ago. Not too bad of an install, but you will want to plan for the screw right in the middle of the ceiling.
Quality wise it is pretty good. I have sound insulation behind it and you can't see any glint of that through the perforations, unless looking real hard.

I just installed the ABS headliner at the bottom of the page (part #49-5056). I must say it is pretty awesome. Nice and clean and it will last for 100 years.

I didn't get the speaker headliner. Look at the very last one on the page. I'd rather listen to my 428 than the radio. :D

Ditto, made my own out of thin white clad aluminum. Surprisingly it doesn't oil can or move.

I gave the trim a brushed aluminum look.
