Default Need Help w/Headliner Installation in NJ...

My '70 GTO needs a new headliner to complete the interior but I've heard that they can be tough to install. I checked with a few local shops and the average asking price is almost $400 (they say that it will take anywhere from 4-6 hours if the rear window doesn't need to be removed, otherwise it will cost more). Is this the going rate? Does anyone know of a good shop in central Jersey that may be able to help me out? I already have the new headliner so I would just need to have it installed. Thanks for any help in advance.

Here's what I did. I removed the old headliner, keeping the bows in correct order, cleaned all the pieces of rubber trim. I then installed the new headliner and semi stretched it and drove it that way for a few weeks. I had an appt at the interior shop and they did the final stretch and install. It cost me $100. He said it was a lot easier since there were no creases and he didn't have to do any of the initial fitting on the bows. See what they'll do for a price if you do the early work. Getting ready to do my second one this week.
