Unless you find a good ORIGINAL headliner, they all fit poorly, no matter who builds them. Just finished an ABS for my car in leather, check it out.

Re: Headliners all the same?
All the aftermarket units i have seen/used were made by ACME.
Yea the fit was poor and it took a bit of massaging to get it to fit.
Sure the "purists" carry on about them but how many choices does a
3rd gen freak have?
