Do something in fiberglass, attach it to the headliner, then put the material over it. Honestly, the stock headliner is really flimsy, so you might want to get one a little better made.... *shrug*

are you wanting the flames all the same level or just the outline of the flames? For the outline someone on the boards used rope and hot glued them where they wanted them and put the fabric on. Otherwise just cut some high density foam into the shape you want or cardboard. I've seen both and i think the foam looks smoother, but a little more difficult to do.
