Has anyone ever seen a highliner installed?

I was thinking about purchasing the highliner (headliner) with built in speakers. I have never heard about this headliner being installed ever. So has anyone ever installed one of these? Better yet has anyone ever seven seen one installed?

Thanks!

THAT'S THE ONE!!! So do you think there is any way to fit a 5" speaker in those holes? What is the mounting depth of the speaker hole?

Here's a link to my Highliner. I used the speaks that come with it. They're OK for a stock GM Radio like I have. I don't think 5's will fit. The holes are pretty deep. You can paint it with Rust-Oleum for PLASTIC. I picked the paint up at Rural King, and it matches my factory Green.

Every Day.... They are kind of a P.I.T.A. to install but worth it.
