Stupid question but do you need to use headliner material or is any material good enough to cover the foam board? Also if it has to be headliner material what's normally used? Cloth, vinyl, etc

I used to work in an upholstery shop. The headliner material will be lighter, but almost any other fabric will work as long as you use the right amount of adhesive. Headliner fabric is just more stretchy and lighter than most other fabrics.

Exactly, however you could use thin vinyl just as you said with right amount of adhesive, I feel that headliner material is warmer for winter though and helps with sound better for stereo sound, think about it, studios and theaters use like materials for walls to better sound
