Update:

I'll have pictures tonight hopefully of it installed in my car and the trim pieces in black -- if I get home early enough for work and if I have time before I leave for christmas.

If not I'll surely update with pics at the beginning of the new year.

im glad someone did something like this....im wanting to remove my headliner to dynamat my roof and wasnt sure how to do it. ONLY difference is the 2001+ models have side curtain airbags in the a-pillers so make sure u disconnect battery and be careful when doing this on the 2001+ but this will help me...
thanks
