William,
Your best bet is to get an interior kit from GAHH and bring that to an
upholstery shop that can do any necessary tweaking to make the fit
factory perfect.
As for the headliner, you won't be able to find a material exactly like
OE, but again I believe GAHH has a nice substitute. Or, you could cover
it in leather or suede a-la AMG.
