After Market 1/8th inch Headliner is just what it is After Market, Their no wrong to using it, its a standard in the Trimmers Business WHEN the OE or OEM Materials are not acquired and installed by the Trim Shop into your Vehicle.

It was mentioned in another post that your looking to keep cost down so your considering installing the After Market 1/8th inch Materials.

Theirs Pro and Cons to Consider for your actions in order to keep the cost down!

Using After Market Materials on such a Vehicle as the E38 will only drive the Retail Cost Down, Less money in your Pocket when it comes to Resale.

Again put your self in the Buyers Seat, Your looking for a Vehicle In Good Mechanical Condition, Your looking for that like new condition Interior including the Headliner, seeing your Headliner makes up over half of the cars interior 1)Headliner Board 2) Sunroof Panel 3)Switch Plate 4) "A" "B" & "C" Post 5)Rear Hat Tray , you want to Purchase a Vehicle that looks Original and willing to pay a little more to get it.

If you again place your self in the Buyers Seat and look at a E38 with After Market Headliner Material Installed, were its Lacks in Quality of Material, Original Texture and Color and Workmanship you will go to the Next Vehicle in line to find that Virgin unmolested Vehicle to invest your hard earned Cash into.

Lets compare cost factors

After Market Material $18.00 per yard
OEM Original Material $55.00 per yard

Where's the Loss in Value, when it comes to putting money back into your pocket?
