The new headliner will cost you a fortune, unless you can find one in a junk yard.

who told you a new headline will cost a fortune? they're soo cheaaaap! I'd say 100-250 TOPS! Ohh man if my car came with a burnt headliner i'd soo opt for a custom made one. Nothing beat alcantara all around!

Added a alcantara picture if you were interested.

Yikes that IS quite a fortune. But I meant to get a good upholestery shop to redo the headliner! They CAN match O.E. headliner too if that's what you need. I DIY'd my headliner on my fiance's camry. Took no more than $40 to do yourself (along with A LOT of patience). On the lexus however, the parts are more delicate (even the pillars are made of our soft fabric) so i'd let a shop handle that
