Took the headliner from the box this weekend to inspect it.  Quality of 
the materials and stitching look very good.  I was a little 
disappointed in the  finished level of the kit.  The picture on CIP's 
website shows the headliner with the pillar and window trim all 
attached and cut out looking like it will just be a matter of gluing it 
in.

What you get is a large rectangle of perforated vinyl with the 
appropriate seams and pockets for the wire stringers and a large 
rectangle of material for the pillar trim.  Nothing else. Looks to be 
plenty of material for it all, but you are left to cut all the pieces 
to the right size and shape and then fit it all.  I have done the 
pillars before so I am not concerned, but was just hoping this "kit" 
would make it easier.  Guess not.

I will try to take pictures as a go and post them to the web someday.
