I ordered headliner material from Mustangs Unlimited. It is material, not an actual hardboard headliner. The material was around $65, the shipping was almost $75!!! (Because you know I live in some third world country a million miles away...ummm, we are a STATE!) So, not only that, I ordered it on December 15. When January 15 came around and no item I figured I had waited patiently enough and emailed them asking where it was? They replied after I had to send a SECOND email asking the status that it was estimated to be here on January 30th. Well, it's still not here. So, a recap of events is this. I paid MORE for the shipping than the actual headliner material cost. I am on week 6 now and still have not received my item. I wish this was an uncommon thing, but it's not. There are things that would EASILY fit in a usps flat rate box or envelope but most places INSIST on second day air as my only choice. I have tried to order simple 5 to $10 items from various mustang companies, and it is almost always $20+ for shipping. I am tired of this and am SERIOUSLY contemplating moving to "the states" (that is a sarcastic comment by the way...we ARE a STATE) but I hear it constantly. Living here is absolutely not car enthusiast friendly.........

Why not just buy a yard of material from a local crafts store? I think I paid $10 locally for some black cloth, and some spray adhesive.

If it were black, maybe...but it's opal gray. Not easy to find.

That is a headache, no doubt Chris.

Guess you’ll have to take out your frustrations by driving your convertible with the top down, in February mind you, to the beach and soak in the sun for awhile!

Hawaii is a State now?

well the current Maryland is pretty **** due to 50 years of being run by democrats so it... lets start over

as for that Hawaii place... my brother in law runs a soccer club over here that has a branch over there. he was face timing once of his coaches on thanksgiving while we were waiting for dinner. he was hiking up a mountain over looking the beach. id take high shipping costs to have that view LOL
