Headliner: Just put new fabric on it. It isn't that hard and saves money. Plus you can get a different color if you wish.

Take it out, pull the old fabric off and keep the hard mold, buy new fabric (Headliner material or whatever you want), buy spray adhesive (made to hold fabrics), re-skin it.

Paint: A decent new paint job will cost you about $1500. The less you pay, the less prep work and such will be done which makes it look cheap. The cheap ($500) Maaco jobs, for example, are basically just new paint sprayed on top of your current paint. You will get orange peel, runs, and over spray. If you get their more expensive job they do the proper prep work and taping so none of that occurs. You are basically paying for the labor. You can cut down on labor by removing the bumpers, ground effect, and spoiler for them.

Headlights: I don't know how much work you feel like doing yourself or not and personally I have never tried this but here is how to fix fogged,yellowed, scratched headlights.

thanx for the help, i found a pair of smoked headlights with matching corners for like 100$ on ebay so i might get those. and hopefully either today or tom im gonna get a quote from a friends shop for the paint. but for the headliner where can i go to pick up the material?

you should be able to pick up your fabric at your local Wal*Mart. the one in town here has tons of different types and colors of fabric and it's fairly cheap and it is good material too.

I have a tip that isn't listed.
First try rubbing some metal polish on your headlights.
It made mine looking brand new!
