For the headliner, search for Heads Up replacement kits. They're about $50-60 plus you'll need to purchase the adhesive as well. It's a pretty sweet kit that's pretty easy for a beginner and it takes a few hours to complete. Definitely is a worthwhile investment.

I'm not sure on the carpet however.

I purchased carpet from stockinteriors.com for my Chevy truck and was very happy with the product. It fit very well I just had to trim around the edges a little.

Did you try to bring it home from the JY in your XJ like me? Lol I road home with it sitting on my head. Didn't occur to me how it was going to fit.
