Kinda thinkin of getting one, has anyone got this headliner in there truck? and if so what do you think of it?

mtdave2 · 08-04-2003, 10:55 PM

hum, id like to see more photos, but it doesnt look bad so far.

GMCrazy · 08-04-2003, 10:56 PM

i thought of getting one once, but the stereo imaging would be all off. i dont think i could live with most of the sound coming from the back, but it would be an easy way to get more speakers if you're not that concerned with imaging. is it paintable?

jcueckert13 · 08-04-2003, 11:16 PM

ive thought about getting one but on a student budget the mechanical aspect is more important. as i recall it is paintable but i also think it is molded plastic and in my experience plastic is a pain to paint

69mychevy · 08-04-2003, 11:16 PM

i had one in my truck and my advice is, no no no no no no no no! its sucks ass!! its cheap, the sound sucks, its looks ugly, and its not stock whatsover, if your worried about cutting the dash but you want music, put it in the glovebox

69mychevy · 08-04-2003, 11:18 PM

oh and i forgot to add the worst part!! drilling!! you hav to put a ****load of holes outside where the original ones go, at least 12, and if you ever put the original back in, you've got a ****load of holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

casey · 08-04-2003, 11:24 PM

69mychevy that pretty much sums it up, I was going to ask how they fit, but doesn't sound good, do think theres some way they can improve it? I kind of like the idea of it

69mychevy · 08-04-2003, 11:31 PM

man i really don't think so, i'll tell you the first thing i did when i got my truck, pull that damn thing out i hated it, it seems like its a good idea but its not, you have trouble looking up to change the station, and the speakers are right by your ears that sucks too, i would say you've got two options
1. this is the if you don't mind cutting the dash or doors, cut the dash and the doors lol, a speaker a door and a deck in the dash i did it and its not bad at all
2. get kicker panels with speakers already in them and put the deck in the glovebox

casey · 08-04-2003, 11:47 PM

I got the deck in the glove box right now and speakers in the doors, the deck in the glove box is a little bit of a pain, but it will have to do,I'm a wimp, I just can't bring myself to cut the dash, like you said the headliner looks like a great idea, but doesn't sound too great.

Its hell on the poor guy sitting in the middle. You hit a bump and he has Kenwood printed backwards on his forehead

67cst · 08-05-2003, 01:34 AM

i was always thinking about that too casey, i refuse to hack my dash so my option was the glovebox too, its nice cause no one knows its there....

casey · 08-05-2003, 01:57 AM

Hooter is that were those head liners come from?

Hooter · 08-05-2003, 02:07 AM

you can order them for there or any other cheesy automotive accesory like stick on chrome tape, illuminated toggle switches, looney toons accesories, cheap fog lights, illuminated exhaust tips, Jensen stereo equipment, stick on bumper guards, chain link steering wheels, or anything used to "cheapen" up your vehicle
