Headliner Replacement Material

[Imagery]

I am having my headliner recovered on my 97' FZJ80. The shop could not find a replacement material to match the OEM style or texture. The cokor is no problem but just cant find anything that will look like the OEM material. He did come up with something though that is a low pile foam backed cloth material that looks like GM, like what I think come in suburban's or blazer's. I don't really like this type material and hoped that I might be able to locate something closer to OEM type. It is GREY in color, I am also replacing the leather interior and seats with KatzSkin leathers custom fit for my vehicle. Seats are blace with grey inserts and door panels will be black leather on top and grey on bottom. Everything should look pretty good but I just wanted to have the headliner be closer to OEM if possible. I could I guess buy a factory replacement but they run around $1,000+. If anyone knows of a source, please let me know.
Thanks
Mark

I had a headliner replaced on a 98 4Runner (bluish color) by a local upholstery shop. It was around $200-$250. The material appeared to be the same as the original and didn't remind me of GM materials. Maybe find a new shop?? I definitely would not pay for a factory headliner -

I recall the smart shopper price is well over $1000 - yes, one thousand US dollars. I remembered that price before I cut into the headliner to install the cargo area light
