Best place for a new headliner?
So I'm getting my "Hello Oddball it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums? " love letter. I might as well post 
The headliner in my IROC is shot and is embarassing. I'm thinking of getting a new one but the shipping is just as much as the part. Do you know of any shops in South Jersey or Eastern PA (I work in Downingtown, PA) that sell them?

Would you consider doing it yourself? I think 3rd gen headliners are cheaper, so it may not be worth it to do it yourself.

I thought about recovering it myself but the underlying material (form?) around the edges is shot as well. I'll check out year one.
Thanks!

I got mine from 1A Auto. Made from ABS plastic, the headliner was done very well. Took just a few minutes to tape off the pre-cut holes, then line everything up inside the car. They also send extra strips of the same material if you have t-tops, so you can get your t-top shades covered the same way by taking the strip around to fabric places to get the fabric to cover the shades yourself.
Good luck!

You can still use your headliner, with about $30 of Fiberglass materials, and an hour or two your headliner board can be fixed.
Mine looks half assed. The first time I did it, it got all messed up. I still have more to do, but I need a new brush.

Does Rayco sell material as well as doing the service?
I need to cover the t-top shades (inserts) with the same or similar material on my headliner, but I wanna do it myself.

I've used Willaims Auto. for years and they do excellent work. They do factory or custom work. I've had seats, door panels and headliners done there. They are in PA on Woodburn rd, (behind Oxford valley mall).
