Miamicorp.com is who i use at my shop. I have an actual account with them that gets me lower prices then that, but outside account people can buy from there. Its deff wide enough and comes with the 1/8" foam on the back.

Also ive used Krylon plastic paint for those roof vents and such

does that plastic paint chip and peel Adam? I've heard horror stories about plastic paints/dyes

Unfortunately in high wear areas yes.. i know on my hoe i painted the sun visor doo-dads, the part that holds the visor from moving if that makes sense, those tend to wear when you keep jammin the visor in the clip..

Other then that if it doesn't get played around with too much and you sand good enough you should be fine.

Why didn't I think of this?

I use a company called Keyston Bros in San Francisco. Lots of fabrics to chose from, with and without backing. I just got my Yukon and the headliner was already done,and this one didn't use a backing. Just re-covered stock headliner with the "Ultra-Suede". I like the look and can send you some pics tomorrow when it's light out.

Also they have a product called "SEM" paint. Comes in spray cans in many colors. It is some what flexible, and I love it for dying plastics. It's also available at a lot of automotive paint stores.
