Default Headliner question

I read somewhere that '01 Z's have more head room than the '02's due to the material of the headliner.

Could someone with a '01 take some pictures of their headliner to see if this is in fact true. Being 6'5 I barley squeeze by without hitting my head, using a helmet is out of the question unless I can solve it with new headliner.

It's not really the material, it's that there is less of this peice of plastic that goes across the width of the roof towards the back.
You'll gain about almost an inch in headroom by switching out the headliner.
