ABS Headliner update
The headliner I got has a black washable padded covering but I have heard of guy's getting just the plain ABS but I think it is only if you want to cover it yourself. The headliner is cut on each front corner to allow it to come down on the piller a few inches, so if you wanted to pain it it would look like crap unless you had an idea to hide the cuts.
As for the dowel make sure you pad it very well as not to ruin the fabric.
I will try to get some pics on Sat I just tried but they didn't turn out very well to dark.
