Headliner kits PROs / CONs

I'm looking for some feedback on the various headliner kits available. One's to stay away from, ones to look hard at. I have a '49 F1. I'm staying with the stock seat, but with three-point seat belts. Thanks!

Id like some info on this. I am thinking about building my own depending on cost. I need to do the whole interior.

the headliner portion of my kit went bad. I was not able to find just the headliner. Everything seems to be the whole kit.
So, I took the opportunity to integrate the headliner into the seat design. I had the headliner upholstered the same as the seats. Every kit I found was the same cardboard cutout. They do what they are intended to do and make the interior look finished. The geadliner can be a little difficult to get installed.

The Dennis Carpenter kit installed easily, didn't require any mods, and has held up well.
