I was gonna say visors. Like when I did my carpet, there was the carpet on the back of the second row seats and the bottom of the console to consider.

You can always do the visors to match as well.
I didn't bother to color match mine, I got a completely different material as well so I just got something I figured would look nice.

I got the headliner out. was pretty easy. I am curious the fabric is just the lower slice, do I need to replace this foam between the fabric and fiberglass?

I don’t think you need to replace the foam. Only if it were damaged.

The headliner material is foam backed--is that the foam you're talking about? If just the fabric material came off without that thin layer of foam still attached to it, you'll need to scrape all of it off. Whatever is left behind will show through your new headliner material once it's glued down.

Not to mention, the foam is what breaks down and makes to original headline fall off and sag.
If you don't remove all of the old foam the new fabric will soon start sagging again.

I always got foam-backed fabric to do my headliners. If yours isn't, I imagine you're going to have to add that layer yourself.

What was the hardest part of removing the headliner?
