Best place to buy a new headliner for '73 Charger

[Charger Fan]

Looking for recommendations / experience on where to buy a new headliner for my '73 Charger. There are alot of sources these days for restoration products and headliners are no exception.
I have bought upholstery and carpeting through Legendary and they would be one of my first choices. But like carpeting, alot of sellers get it from the same source. Don't know if its the same way with headliners.

What does "best" mean, you want to save fifty cents OR you want the best headliner ??

If and when you get a headliner, spread it out immediately. Imho.

Don't buy a REM. They don't fit right. Thru one away after fighting with it for a week. Got a Legendary and the fit was perfect.

Best means best. I don’t mind paying more if the quality, material, and fit are as they are exactly as they are supposed to to be

I've heard all this before. I bought my REM headliner about ten years ago and it sat in a cupboard till about three weeks ago. Unfolded it and layed it on the roof for potential installers to see. Had two come an look at it and neither cared that it was creased from all that time folded up. Both said it would flatten out when installed and hit with the heat gun. It was installed last Tuesday and fits like a glove with no creases or wrinkles.

MY advice is pay a pro to do it. It cost me $300 cash and took the pro four hours - I can barely sit or kneel in the interior for five minutes without getting a cramp. It would have taken me DAYS to do the job.

As for REM not fitting well, mine had plenty of material everywhere. Once the bows were slipped in and put up in place the rest was pretty straightforward according to the pro.

What color do you need?

I had plenty of material everywhere on the REM I bought, the issue was the distance between the bows was off so there was no way to get it tight. Maybe a one off problem but it soured me on their headliners.

I am not sure what the color name is however the interior code is E6Y4. The headliner is cloth and has almost a yellow orange tint to it. I'm guessing its supposed to be a shade of gold to go along with the honey gold interior. Picture attached but its hard to really tell from a photo.

I have an new in the box repro (Year One) tan headliner but it's the perforated style.
10 years old, but cheap if you are interested.

Hard to find any other style.

My Satellite has a ribbed (?) style. Also very hard to find.
