Exact(?) Match on Rooflining Material

This probably won't interest a lot of people, but for the few that may be interested.

The commonly available FB/EK "Star Pattern" rooflining is not an exact match, the modern replacement has an even pattern of same-sized stars, where as the old is more random with different sized stars.

Anyway, there are places in the States that sell the "Random" pattern star material

I know SMS Auto Fabrics is one http://www.smsautofabrics.com/products/headliners.php (be careful though, they are quick to take your money and slow at getting out product, Google "SMS auto fabric complaints" :wink: )

Original Auto Interiors is another http://originalauto.com/ claiming to have many original materials, though I am not sure if they have the random star.

I have used SMS fabrics, they supplied me the 'metallic green' trim for my car and it is very close to original ek trim, I couldn't get it in oz and I received it within 2 weeks.

You are one of the lucky ones then :lol:

My last order went to Austria (no joke, German updates from UPS 'n all) before it got to me 4 weeks later :roll:
