Auto upholstery wholesale supply outfits stock headliner material in many
colors. Try a search of your area upholstery supply houses. Out here in
California, we have a great resource called UFO - upholstery fabric outlet -
they stock everything you will ever need to redo a car, from the carpet to
the headliner. This is the stuff most shops use, so it isn't up to OEM
quality, but I don't know where to get better stuff without paying $50 a
yard!
