Have any of you used this material for a headliner? Found it on ebay.
Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/SUEDE-ULTRASOFT-CRYPTON-UPHOLSTERY-FABRIC-LT-GREY-DUTCH_W0QQitemZ290121029551QQihZ019QQcategoryZ28160QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem)

I am curious as to how it compares to the Ultrasuede I was thinking of using. Or, is there a better material, for use on headliners, that I should look at? Thanks.

Yeah I think it will look sweet. Mine has to be done so I thought I would try something different. I was hoping someone had some input on this or other faux suede. It is cheap enough I think I am going to order some to see if it is worth using or not.

micro suede may be a little thinner than regular automotive suede as far a s a headliner it will work just make sure to pull old headliner out and wire wheel the fiberglass board before installing the suede cause u glue the suede to the old headliner it will fall and in a hurry

as far as price per yard its pretty good most suedes are 10 to 25 a yard depending on what fabric and who sell it

Thanks for the input Shagme. I already have the old stuff stripped off. My problem now has been finding thin foam to go under the suede. I bought a three dollar ironing board cover to get the foam to go on my overhead console that I covered to match the seats. I guess I may have to go buy a couple more to get the foam for the headliner.

And yeah, the price seems pretty good. I expect it to be thinner fabric than the Ultrasuede brand. I am pretty sure the headliner will work out fine. I hope it is durable enough to cover my door panels as well. If anyone is thinking of using something like this, I'll post back in a few days to let you guys know what this faux suede is like and if it is worth the price.

Thanks again for the input guys.
