A starlight headliner is a modification that turns your car's roof lining into a starry night sky. Hundreds of glowing points – created from optical fiber strands – produce the effect found in Rolls-Royce, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class. Scar Studio installs starlight headliners in Warsaw for cars of all makes and classes.
Why choose a starlight headliner?
- Hundreds of fiber optics create a starry night sky effect inside the cabin
- Remote or app control – scenes, colours, animations (shooting stars)
- Premium upgrade found in the world's most luxurious cars
- Invisible installation – the headliner looks factory-standard, all wiring fully hidden
- 12-month warranty on every installation
How many stars to choose?
The number of fiber optics directly affects the density and realism of the effect:
| Configuration | Number of stars | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | 400–600 | Subtle constellation |
| Standard | 800–1200 | Dense starry sky |
| Premium | 1500–2500 | Galaxy inside the cabin |
You can also add 1–5 shooting stars (comets) that sweep across the headliner in a cycle. Price from 2900 PLN – final quote depends on configuration.
What does the installation process look like?
1. Consultation and configuration – we decide on fiber count, fabric colour and effects
2. Headliner removal – careful extraction and disassembly of the roof lining
3. Fiber installation – precise threading of each fiber through the headliner mat
4. Scene and animation setup – brightness, modes and shooting star settings
5. Headliner reinstallation – the roof goes back with no visible trace of work
Time: 2–4 business days · Warranty: 12 months
Which cars can get a starlight headliner?
We install in any make: BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Range Rover, Volkswagen, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai and many others. Roof size and trim complexity affect the timeline but do not exclude any model.
Starlight headliner vs ambient lighting
A starlight headliner is a point-light effect – glowing stars in the ceiling. Ambient lighting is linear interior illumination (dashboard, doors, door sills). Both can be combined – clients who order a package receive an individual discount.
Frequently asked questions
How many fiber optics are installed and does the number matter?
We typically install 700 to 1500 fibers, depending on headliner size and desired effect. More fibers create a denser, more natural starfield, but even distribution and professional placement matter most.
Do fiber optics require maintenance or replacement?
Fiber optics do not heat up or wear out in the usual sense – the LED light source lasts tens of thousands of hours. No servicing is needed. Occasional gentle vacuuming of the headliner, as with standard upholstery, is sufficient.
What is the warranty on installation and does it cover the light source?
We offer a 12-month warranty on installation. The light source (LED projector) has its own manufacturer warranty – usually 1–2 years. If it fails, replacing the module is straightforward and does not require removing the entire headliner.
Is the installation reversible? What about the original headliner?
Installation involves inserting fibers into the headliner – the original upholstery can only be restored by reupholstering. The headliner itself remains visually intact after removal.
Won't the star effect distract the driver at night?
No. Brightness is fully adjustable, and we recommend moderate settings while driving. The light is soft and diffused – it does not create glare on the windshield. Many clients use the effect mainly when parked or in relaxation mode.
