When I was gonna do velour/suede/something along those lines for my head liner a while back, I was advised against it because it collects dust, dirt and moisture either and isn't good for using in auto upholstery. I mean if you know otherwise and like the look, go for it because it would look/feel sick. Maybe also look at vinyl, auto seat fabric or even (pricier) leather would look neat and always feels nice on interior trim.

I don't know about the choice of material, but I've always liked the fabric-trimmed panels on my sister's '02. And personally, I'd go with blue inserts to match your exterior. That would look good.
