Now I’m just waiting for my plaid bucket seats to come in 😋
How much did it cost you??
So nice
I don't get this weird obsession with black headliner.
Looks really good. I’m also interested in the cost. First time seeing someone do the seat back lights too hah.
to each their own
Same
$800
$800 installed
That’s not bad at all, where did you go for install?
Had a local upholstery guy come out to my house and do it
Is it alacantara or some kind of suede/other material? I think it would be a lot pricier for options like that but not sure. Never had upholstery done in any of my cars.
Yea it’s suede, feels great
Nice work, looks soft and comfy hah
You mean other than the fact that it looks 100x better than the cheap Camry light grey headliner? Grey headliner is for vehicles that cost under 20k lol. The grey gets dirty wayy to easily and shows more wear and tear.
I have white seats, black headliner would look goofy.
It would look even better with the white seats.. lol you can’t convince me otherwise. There is a reason everyone coming from bmw, audi, Mercedes, Lexus etc.. all miss their black headliners. There is a reason why Tesla got rid of the light grey in favor for black lol.. it’s more premium. Tesla has been using black headliners in their most expensive cars for a reason, otherwise cheap models would get black and the rest would get grey but that’s not the reality
It's not more premium lol . It's literally the same material where people are chasing a new trend.
How is it a new trend? My bmws have had it for the last 10 years… it’s about time Tesla moves in this direction. Tesla needs to stay competitive with the market.
Toyota Camry has black headliner now too. You'll see them in every car soon enough and then you'll call it poverty black and the cycle will start all over with everyone wanting gray again.
Why year is your M3?
Sorry but this isn’t some cycle that’s going to repeat itself. Just like kitchen designed from the 80s that haven’t made their way back into style yet. To your point, if the whole industry is moving to black, why would Tesla stay gray? It shows more imperfections and more wear and tear. Passengers with dirty hands that put their hands on the headliner etc.. My neighbor has cigarette marks in their gray headliner that stick out like a sore thumb. I get that this is subjective, but the only people I hear complaining are people who have grey headliners already, but it seems majority of people ordering are welcoming the new black headliner. Just like everyone complained when the new Model y design came out, people were saying it looks worse, and now just about nobody thinks that unless they have an older one.

If they had options for grey vs black headliner, I'd still pick grey because of my white interior and so would many other people. I'm sure a lot of people like black as well but to frame it as some something more premium is just funny and very wrong.
The Grey makes the interior look very cheap
Can you link a car that cost under $20k?
it looks grey
Nissan Versa are around 21k-23k msrp being sold around 17k. Thanks for contributing.
Nice, so about 1 car. Just so you're aware Honda has a black headliner 😂
Why is yours so light colored? The one i did with black alcantara is way darker
And how does that negate anything I’ve said? The whole industry is moving towards black after luxury brands have done it for years. You’re trying reallyyyy hard over there 😂
Sorry to break it to you, but Tesla is no longer interested in being competitive. If they were, they wouldn’t be discontinuing models in favor of affordable options and “autonomy”.
Your entire statement was invalidated when a Honda does it. White Interior is the luxury of Tesla, ask any detailer the white POPS.
generalization does not exist in this dojo!
What? The white interior is beautiful, and my first option. But the white seats look way better when the headliner is black, just like with the S and X. That’s why Tesla offered it on their most expensive vehicles otherwise the plaids would of had grey headliners right? But Tesla knows the black is more premium and looks better, regardless of what you think lol.
To each their own, it gets 115 where I live and I prefer lighter colors all around my car inside and out with ceramic nano tinting. Oh, and it doesn't matter what you, I or Tesla thinks. Looks are very subjective. It's why paint is a choice. Edit: it's why I think options are valuable, interior color, wheels, trim color, headliner, paint. Give people options.
Only person here trying really hard is you oml
I have owned all of those brands and I have never for a second thought about headliner color on any of them, including the model 3.
Why's it look splotchy and why do your seats look greased up
That’s not too bad actually, how did you match the plastic bits like handles sun visors etc
Does it have a pattern, or is it just smudged up from hands?
The accent texture looks like smudges and oil that’s built up for a decade. I don’t get it but hey! I don’t have to!
Suede, so some of it is going one way some is going the other, i “brushed” it all one way with my hand and now it’s smooth black
Plastics, and sun visors were dyed or painted i’m not sure
EvOffer
2020
Depends which way it’s brushed, matches the door cards pretty perfectly
Splotchy is just because it was brushed diffrent ways, my driver head rest basically melted, luckily got new seats otw.
haha, once i brushed it all the same direction nice flat black but too each their own!
If you like it only you drive it
It's really splotchy...
are you planning on doing teh plastics on the top black as well?I have no clue how to do the gear shifter top piece to black
it’s already done, black to match
You're telling me the people who make a living cleaning your interior prefer the easily dirtied interior? What a mark lmao
Did I just see your car posted on Insta by the guy who installed it? Love it btw🔥
Just saw the instagram video of your car getting done haha how funny. Came out good man I’m tempted to do this to mine. Black is such a way cleaner look
all this effort to still have a HW3 car is beyond me
HW3’s been great for me 🤷♂️
Is it Alcantara? Not having it all lay one direction would really bother me.
That looks mottled. Did you bruise it while putting it in?
Sharing this I was considering blocking out mine but this is not the vibe I was going for it
Lol, my white interior still looks new 6 yrs later. I had black interior and white interior, white is MILES better. Especially in the summer
Cool useless anecdote!
🔥🔥🔥👌🏼Looks amazing… wish I had that in mine… I’m jelly 😂

I’m glad you like it. It looks off to me, maybe in person it looks better.
I agree. I like having the light head liner, it makes the cabin feel more open and airy in combination with the panoramic glass.
🔥🔥
Did a DIY project last weekend on my MY22 - £70 materials and two days https://preview.redd.it/fpu6um3ostlg1.jpeg?width=3213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8da926711c0db611bcafadfaa5e05813220efef
Wtf am i looking at
How did you attach the fabric to the original headliner?
Whats with these super low effort posts lately? I think if you waited till daylight and brush the suede one direction before taking pics you might be able to get considerably more people to appreciate this. Pics with flash on look gawdawful and most of these are blurry to boot with pic 2-3 being the same angle.
Headliner Dye over original for me
Video please?
Is there a specific brand for headliner dye?
Did you wrap that yourself or buy it? I wrapped mine but I’m having a hard time painting the buckle parts a decent black lol.
My personal opinion is that this looks awful. You obviously like it which is fair enough but I personally think it makes the car look very cheap
Do you have his insta? I’m interested in getting mine done as well
I used Carbusonic Headliner Dye in Black
Lol i never even notice about the ugly beige until all these people complain about it. Black head liner would look nice but I wouldn’t pay to change it
Haha, yea it’s was dark with 3 bright led work lights on the dash, I posted a closeup somewhere in the comments
It's suede.
So now you have to brush your interior to keep it looking black? That’s one extra maintenance task I don’t need.
haha, not unless you’re rubbing your headliner on the regular
Because Tesla chose an ugly cement grey for their headliner that does not match any shade of grey they have as trim in the car.
Yeah those look 100x better thanks
The marks would drive me mad
It looks camo
Is that Suede or Alcantara?
My guy. Have you never seen suede in a car 😂
Nope! Should I have?
Do you have more pics 👀👀

Dude you need to make a tutorial how please
Like how did you get the seatbelt holders black and what are you doing for the visors.
Spray paint for all the plastics / dome lights and rear hooks. I used Foliatec FT20021 Interior ColorSpray, 400 ml, Flat Black which is amazing stuff for £25. For the visors I used the same headliner dye, however they took a lot longer to dry out
