headliner or no headliner
So my headliners coming down pretty bad, should I.....
1) pay a shop 350 to replace it
2) ignore it (don't like this one)
3) just remove it!
Does having a headliner really make that much of a difference?

Gonna be loud if you remove it completely.

Not really. How often do you look up there versus having a ton of noise ALWAYS?

whatever you do don't pay 350 for a shop to do it. I was quoted 200 for a shop to do mine but, i ended up doing it myself for 50 and it looks perfect

I've been driving without mine for the past month, and it wasn't bad but it was a little noisier with the windows up. I have my windows down 98% of the time so it didn't bother me though.
I just got done using spray on bedliner on mine, looks ok but if it's a clean DD i wouldnt necessarily recommend it.

Um...not formal ones. I can explain it if you want. First I gotta know if you have an overhead console and rear speaker bar. Also, if there is a speaker bar, is it molded into the headliner.
I got all of my supplies at a fabric shop. They carried everything from home fabrics to automotive carpet to boating seat vinyl. I believe I paid something around $5 per yard. Only 2 yards were needed if I remember right but measure the length of your headliner to be sure. I also bought 3M headliner fabric adhesive. I got 2 cans. It was pricey...something like $15 per can. If you can locate all of that at a local shop or online, Ill walk ya through how to do it
