Perhaps try a local quality auto upholstery shop and see what they can do for you.

well driver's side window in the middle of the headliner where it meets the weather seals from time to time I have to like slide my fingers between the rubber and headliner to reset the material and its just driving me nuts. that is why I was asking if there was any better ideals out there for the FRC/Z06 cars

I have to do that every month or so and I figure it's a matter of not being all that careful when getting in the car. Maybe I'll catch on it here and there and not notice. Worst case, your local upholstery shop can pull your headline and put new material on the same core.

Well the core that the black material is glues to is a lot like card board, not sure if you'd save any weight compared to carbon fiber

oh I know and that is the last thought in my head, I think if anything a CF would be a bit heavier, when compared to the stock one..i am just disappointed in the OEM headliner, when I bought my car with 26k miles on it, right in front of the drivers side sun visor it looks like someone tried to do something and its pulling away every so slightly , enough that I notice and it bugs me...and the fact like I stated before what its doing on the drivers side...meh I will prob just have it re done locally
