I like how the back seat looks like individual bucket seats.

I like that too....the 85/86 console was shorter and had a 3rd center rear belt, so they became 5 passenger cars.

Im not 100% sure but the rear seats should bolt right in on 87/88 cars, or with very light modding......

My 86' T/C has the full length console with a center-fold down console in the back seat. I don't remeber it having a center seat belt.

I remember seeing some consoles that were shorter in the back, and didn't impede legroom for a 3rd person. Maybe I'm mistaken and its 87/88 cars or perhaps Cougars.  I know there are 2 console versions though......

Looking good. I have done a few headliners and the hardest part is getting them out and back in. Materials are cheap for the most part. Just s all the old foam from the backer, spray some hi temp adhesive on half, lay the new material down on that half, and repeat. Trim the edges, mark and trim the holes and reinstall.
