Default Headliner Fabric Color With A Red XJ......opinions??

Hey guys, I'm re-upholstering my headliner next week because it is sagging too much for my taste. Now Ive seen people go with a camo headliner and while I really dig that idea my mind is telling me that would be kind of weird with my XJ being bright red. (Yes I realize that It will be on the inside and only I will be able to see it and whoever else rides with me) So as far as camo goes what do you think would look better.......Realtree Hardwoods type or a Mossy Oak Shadow Grass (which Im leaning towards!!)??

It has the tan cream headliner/visors with a black dash/grey twead interior. I could always go with the original tan cream or go black to match the rest of the interior but If I did that I would have to tackle the visors in black as well. Keep in mind that this will the the first time trying to do a headliner/visors...........uugghhh to many choices........Heres a picture of her

Thanks bud! I agree, re-doing the tan that is already in there would look good but Im thinking I might want to change it up a little bit....

I'm really leaning towards the shadow grass, guess now I just have to find a place that doesn't want an arm and a leg for it!

Damn, I totally read this title wrong. I pictured a fabric headliner with a big red "XJ" lettering in the middle of it.
