Plastic Selection Advice

Hi everyone,

I’ve nearly completed the full restoration of my ‘67 Mustang, but I still need a headliner.

I wanted to make my own hard removable headliner, just like the fiberglass ones that CJ pony sells.

I was able to generate a concept image, where the headliner would be made from some ‘frosted’ looking black plastic to diffuse the LEDs that I would sandwich between the ceiling and headliner.

I’ve been struggling with picking a plastic though.

It needs to be easily moldable and not sag after a few summer parking lot heat cycles.

Any suggestions? I’ve been told I’m looking for a unicorn.

I was planning on draping the sheet of plastic over a mold of the ceiling and forming it with either a space heater or heat gun, but maybe I should just get a dedicated plastic oven to evenly heat it?

Any advice is appreciated!

Cheers
