I have seen painted ones and they look ok.

Or if you have a wife or girlfriend, or mother with a sewing machine, new ones are not hard to make.

I bought material from a car upholstery place for $40 and the Mrs turned it into a lovely headlining in about an hour, using the old one as a template.

its prob worth doing it yourself too cause i got a quote for $200. (full replacement)

Here's a pic of the first one I made myself.

The second one I made was better, but cost me less than 20 bucks for some black vinyl from spotlight.

$20 cant go wrong, even if you do, $20.. lol..
have you got a pic of the better one.

Just take your old one out and there is a template. They come out easy too, with the hangers an all

got the wife (no girlfirend )

But no sewing machine.

might have to look into it though as 40 is still cheap!

No unfortunately I never got a picture of the better one I made but was much much better and considering my first effort looks pretty good, it looked awesome.
The one pictured I didn't curve the loops enough and I didn't leave myself enough material to go up to the c pillars. Still looks good though.
