Headliner replacement is definitely DIY if you are patient. Half the job is removing the headliner board. Haynes does a good job of describing how to remove the trim (side panels, door threshold panels, handles above doors, overhead light, and visors) to get the board out. Just be careful or you may break plastic trim on the side pillars.
The headliner material you can buy at autoparts stores like Pep Boys- you can get a remarkably good color match and the headliner material is high quality. Also buy adhesive made for installing headliner while you are there.
After you get the board out, remove the old fabric and scrape off as much of the old foam as you can with a plastic pot scrubber. DO NOT use solvent, as it will attack the board material. There will be some residual foam visible when you are done, don't worry about it, as long as you get 99% of the old foam off. Glueing the new headliner onto the board is a piece of cake. Good luck!
