Super clean, round eyes, nice paint. A WINNER! Too bad you're so far I did window tinting for 12 years. Way easier to take the glass out to do it & turns out much better. I did my headliner when I did my paint & it wasn't that hard. Get your covering larger than you need & trim to fit at the end. Also easier to have the glass out. Glass is a snap to put back in. All you need is a 1/4" smooth nylon rope that's longer than the circumference of the window rubber. My rubbers were shot so I got new ones. They almost fell in. Helps to have a parner when you do it.

Now there's a color you don't see everyday.  Nice with the Black accents.  I did a headliner with the 3M spray on contact cement and liner material from JoAnns fabric.  Comes in gray and brown I think.  Very reasonable by the foot and I think it was 48 inches wide.  More than enough if I remember for width.  Has the spongy back on it.

I did the head liner when i was putting the truck together but moved the  dome light to the back of the cab with a bigger light i belive the rattel is from one of the wire clips came loose and is banging up there. not a big deal just some time.
