Post poll: should i try a suede headliner?

Hey guys, I wanna try something new for my headliner and do a faux suede headliner. What do you guys think go for it or no? Any opinions, suggestions, or alternate routes would be appreciated. Thanks

I wanna go with black alcantara as Dyno, it is more expensive, but the look and touch is incredible.

I was thinking about doing it myself, there are a lot of DIYs on Google. I would love to do alcantara if it was a little cheaper then $85/yard
