    Installed Custom Alcantara Headliner in my RS7

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So when i bought my RS7, the 2 options it didn't have that i really wanted were the sports exhaust, and alcantara headliner. i have swapped the chrome exhaust finishers out for the black ones and will be upgrading to a milltek exhaust. and i just finished installing a custom alcantara headliner. i couldn't figure out which color black audi uses, as frost black (9002) seemed too dark and charcoal (9052) seemed too light. i went with the charcoal though as i thought it was the closest match. i ordered OEM sun visors in alcantara and rewrapped the rest of the pieces at a local shop that does interiors. the entire interior trim and seats had to be removed to get the headliner out which surprised me, as i thought with the large hatch removal would have been much easier. i used to think that $3,000 for oem alcantara headliner seemed like an expensive option, but after the cost of material and labor, I'm in for pretty close to that going aftermarket.

    Did they remove the cloth and then install the alcantara, or did the alcantara go on top of the cloth? Assume the former. Very nice.

    You made me seriously contemplating about the project to wrap the dash in alcantara!

    they put the alcantara over the existing cloth since there is no padding on the alcantara. the material was about $800, the visors were about $500 for the pair, and then about 16 hours of labor. Next project is Milltek exhaust. just need to decide if i want resonated or non-resonated. i just don't want any drone...

    I have been thinking of doing this but thought it might be cost prohibitive.

    Yours looks great!!

    Looks very nice.

    I also like the radar detector mount you have. Can you please tell me where you got that from?

    it is blendmount - BBE-2025. Bought it on amazon for about $120. i have had many radar detector mounts. this one by far is the best. no rattles, and quality construction.

    So if one were to order OEM Alcantara headliner are the sun visors Alcantara or psuedo leather / cloth?
