I can vouch for the paint, I've seen it in person. Very nice considering the circumstances. I've seen worse paint jobs from Maaco that cost $1000+

you saw it before it was sanded and buffed, it's all shiny now. got rid of most of the orange peel.

Damn it looks even better now? I was pretty impressed with it last time. Paint and body work is way over my head haha.

no but i can ship you one, they show up all the time here. i should do a how to on installation, since i used the same style mounting hardware as the factory uses. they're called riv-nuts. you drill the holes, and insert the rivnut then squish it in with the tool leaving a nut and a leak free seal without dropping the headliner.
