[V8] Headliner poll

[Bryan Kamerer]

As to your "poll" question of color choice, my thinking is this:

Match the seats/carpet as closely as possible.

Mine is all grey inside.  I don't love the grey, but the continuity makes it
less jarring aesthetically.  I have been car shopping the last six months
for a truck-type SUV.  The ones with even slightly two-tone interiors really
annoyed me.  That's my opinion; I tend to be pickier about color, etc. than
other folks.  So it may not bug you at all.
