Hi everyone,

This weekend I pulled out the interior from the beltline up. The ceiling
was coming apart and needed replacing. While wandering around Home Depot I
saw these Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels. They are about an 1/8
inch thick and very flexible. They looked perfect to me (maybe a tad
expensive). I was wondering if anybody has seen or used these on the
interior of a GMC. also it seems that some of the spans in the ceiling are
over 48 inches. How do you deal with that? I have some ideas, but looking
for the experiences of all the experts out there.

Also, now that the inside is quite open, I am thinking lighting and
speakers. I am looking for ideas in this area. My thoughts are to put LED
lights in the ceiling down the aisle as a general lighting. I think LED's
should be small enough to fit in the ceiling and they give off no heat.
Then I want some LED reading lights under the overhead cabinets. Speakers
may be a bit more challenging because they either need to be very small or
they will be more of a surface mounted fixture. I have seen some speakers
that stick down from the ceiling and are pointed forward. I do like those
but I am not sure where to find them yet.

Looking for any and all ideas. Thanks everyone.
