Default Headliner fabric

I now have the task of fitting the headliner board with new material.
After searching I have found a good match for the OEM colour in my Aero Blue SRT6.
The material came from Headlinermagic in Garland, Texas who I found on eBay, the material is 1/8” #2349 Opal Grey.Select the color from the drop down list. (CLICK)
I purchased two yards which is more than enough, I think they sell a smaller piece of material, 60” x 60” if I recall correctly.
They are really friendly people to deal with, I sent a sample of my falling liner and they matched it very well.
I am not sure how many colours the Crossfire headliner came in so sending a sample is a good idea. Often what a colour looks like on your monitor is not what you see in daylight.

Great info, the colors on a computer are never accurate because it is lit from the back, not the front.

I removed the headliner today, no sweat. Watch the first video and the secret to remove the panel is shown. I had it out in less time than the guy in the first video, CLICK mind you the rear roof panels were not in place so it dropped straight down. The secret is the rotation of the panel at the correct moments in the removal process.
See this thread for a full description. CLICK

Do not use too much glue and do not press the material down too much as the glue can make a mark on the surface, that's what I read anyway.

EDIT
Headliner replacement
PDF
I should have used 3M Headliner and Fabric Adhesive, the 3M Super 77 failed in two years.
Using 3M 77 I sprayed one side of the roof panel lightly side to side and then up and down. Do not spray both sides as this will bond at once and you could ruin the whole job. I immediately applied the material because the light layers got tacky practically at once and the ability to remove an area if it did not form to the surface correctly. Do not let the adhesive pool or it might soak through the material.
The hardest areas to get to fit are the areas where the outboard mirror mounting holes meet the A pillar area this area requires the most stretching of the material and hence the fabric is under a lot of tension and pulls away from the board. One side of mine pulled away unnoticed slightly but the mirror mount holds it down and is hardly noticeable except to me and bluecoupe who helped with the install.
The install is harder than the removal, I am really glad I had his help, so much so I let him install all the trunk panels after the roof was done, he did all that work for a light lunch. The upper roof panels are the hardest to install, bluecoupe found it easier to get in the trunk to do it.
