Default Hothead headliner

Just got my Hothead headliner kit today and installed it tonight in about 25 minutes. I am very happy with it. Looks factory-perfect fit. Completely different interior sound-much quieter, stereo sounds 100% better. A must buy for the daily driver. Thanks to mark at Hothead.

Can we get pics? Does the headliner cover the sides of the windows as well?

Jeep has announced a headliner kit for the interior of the hard top JK's.... Im waiting out for it, Im assuming (might be wrong) that it will be a good kit.

I have seen one installed and it looks llke it came from the factory, the only *aesthetic* improvement might be to paint the inside of the top to match the headliner, if you really care that much, and I have to agree with everything particularly if it is a dd, but I am concerned about two things:

1. How long the adhesive on the velcro strips will hold?
2. How it will hold up to handling when removing or installing the top without a lift?

That's my primary concern also...as the AZ guys might agree, the insided of the top in mid-summer is so hot, you can't even touch it. That heat will do a number on most adhesives.
