Hit the JY, pull one out and reupholster it.. Cheap and easy.
Side note- I have seen *****athane and *****athane-like products used on the bare metal to aid in sound dampening. The only thing that would concern me is over time the gravity and the sun heating the roof enough to where the adhesive glue would let go.. That would be a problem.. But.. I have no proof that this is actually an issue, just thinking out loud...

Ok for head liners. I will say find a decent ine at the yard and use it. (Recover if necessary) some people have done the whole rhinoliner thing, eh i personally think those look like crap. But sometimes thats all we can do. Going without a headliner will be very hot in the summer and cold in winter. You will also get more noise when it rains. I was able to find a perfect one on a Craigslist part out. It was my factors grey interior. Just my 2 cents

I lined my ceiling with FatMat (Knock off DynaMat) and it works great. I live in hawaii so its always hot/warm and sunny well almost always. Installed it about 8 months ago and no problems at all. Its all covered by the headliner now but its still holding strong, cant say that about my reupholster job I only used one can of spray glue and it stayed up for about 2 months now I have to pull my headliner out and redo it AGAIN.... FML.

Well i finally got around to fixing my headliner. I had bought 3 massive cans of locktite spray glue and was planning on reusing the fabric from a few months ago. But i decided to strip all the remnants of foam away and painted the headliner black....... omg it looks so much better. I would go this route unless you "need" a factory look on the inside.
