    Anyone installed the CATuned headliner?

    My headliner isn't in great shape, and I notice CAT makes a couple headliner options (an OEM style and a suede). I'm mighty tempted to go with the suede, but I'm hoping to do it myself and wondering
    (A) How hard the job is in general (I did watch their video, which made it look...achievable...)
    (B) Whether the suede is harder than the OEM (seems like it would have less stretch)

    bit late to the party, but I suggest NOT using the CaTuned suede. It's not even really faux suede, its more like cheap fabric store velvet. Not a fan. If I had to do it again (I might have to swap it out due to my OCD) I would pick the regular headliner fabric.

      It came last week. I haven't opened it yet, but it's not returnable. It's going to be better than what I have, but hoping I like it better than you do... ;)

          I lost my job the week before that, so a lot of stuff got put on hold. I'm hoping to take a swipe at it this winter, but have some other thoughts bouncing around too...
