My cousin did this to his new car and out turned out amazing. A neat trick/tip that helped him with keeping track of the stars to keep the right amount of dots was he counted out tiny removeable dot stickers beforehand so he an his wife could set them more organically while keeping track of how many but also remain flexible enough to change things... like the accidental swastika constellation. lol
I customized vehicles for 30 years, but I'm currently walking a different path. I've sent vehicles to any show you might think of, minus Pebble Beach, and a couple of other very specific type of restoration, or NOT type of shows. All that to say I've gone behind way too many crap installs, and yours looks neat. I hate following up (fixing) installer's work with lazy, doesn't care, burned out, or whatever's going wrong installations.
That looks absolutely awesome! I would love to have that on my ceiling, lol I don't have the patience or time to do that. I wish someone had a company that did that as a service, I'd totally have it done!!
Hey looks amazing! Also i want to say you’re very organized! I like how you did everything step by step,Super clean ! Just wanted to give you a suggestion. As far as the shooting start if you would of separated the shooting star length wise,It would’ve looked a-lot more impressive.
What I do when I do them for customers is I’ll divide the strands into 4 sections and then I’ll take the whole strand and hold it up in the interior where the strands would run to where you would mount the box through the pillar from where the headliner would meet up with the c pillar and put a zip tie around where it meets with where the headliner and c pillar would meet and then after that zip tie I’ll divide the strands into 4 sections that match the amount of the 4 sections marked on the headliner and then run the strands to the longest point where u got the stars marked and then if theirs a lot of over hang trim it to where it’s a few inches longer than the furthest point so u don’t have to run 5 ft of strand through the holes and then start on the section closest to where it runs down the pillar so ur not trying to work over the strands if you would’ve tan the furthest section
That’s definitely a good way to do it! It was a good learning experience for sure and now I have a better idea when I do the 4th gen and the new truck I just picked up!🤟🏻
Awesome job first of all! My main question is how do you know your shooting stars are directionally right. As in like the sequence of the shooting star Stat to finish all in sequence? Can you mess that part up to where your shooting star isn't going in the correct order?
Lol I'm doing this project right now for my new ford escape and just got done getting the headliner completely out and with a pencil i mapped out the entire galaxy. Every constellation is in its correct spots, matching the sky and locations of each constellation. It took literally all day just to map out the grid and match each star using a Equatorial Star Map. It's definitely a true piece of art. The best I've ever done in my life. Instead of just poking random holes everywhere
Explain how do u map out constellations and transfer it to the headliner. i was thinking print out on a plotter at fedex print and then tape it to liner and the make holes. do you have a pic we can see of yours?
@@Starbz lol u take ur headliner out, then take a constellation star map image off google images, make sure it has grids of I think like 12 lines vertically and 24 diagonally so it’s shaped like a rectangle. Now take that rectangular grid and apply it to the headliner with a #2 pencil very lightly, take your time. Patients is key. After gridding it, connect the dots. Do one constellation at a time. Once done. Replace dot with tacks. You’ll need about 644 tacks because in our galaxy the constellations make up about 644 stars, so you’ll need an extra set of them led wires and you’ll have to cram it in with what ever led modual u choose to install it with. I used 644 leds and about 159 broke as I was putting it back in because I got impatient and used enhesive instead of a glue gun or gorilla glue lol it still was bright enough to cover every hole. Plus if u mess up drilling like I did and the liner would twist with the drill bit and break my bits because u need to use to tiny bit. I learned u don’t need to press the drill button, u just have to let the weight stab it through lol so I had to add a new layer of black. I just went to Walmart in the fabric area and they cut me out the size I needed and boom my shit looks like the sky on point I get compliments all the time lol
I like your way of thinking 🤔 my guy! I watch your video because I’m about to put some in my ladies Kia Sportage myself we going 550 regular and 96 meteor shower 🚿 with shooting stars 🌠!! Awesome 😎 job!
Thank you for taking you time explaining the process. The result looks Amazing. Question. Can these fiber cable ends be seen/noticed during the daylight when you look at your headliner? Or are they so tiny that clipping makes it pretty much invisible?
It’s visible if you use a drill bit to make the holes. Use a needle to make the holes. If the holes are too visible I’ve seen some people use a brush with kinda hard bristles to brush their head liner to hide the holes a little bit more
Opinion: should one attempt to do this in a full size Chevy G10 van? Headliner is relatively flat (overall curved shape, no formations) but 12 foot long from nose to tail and about 65” wide.
If you do you’ll need to either get two kits, one for the front 6’ and one for the back 6’ or a custom one if they even do that. But either way I’m sure you can do it!
DOPEEEEEEEE!! Can you elaborate a bit more on the long shooting starts. My kit has 96 total strands 12 ports on the block each holding 8 strands and I would like to just make 4 shooting starts one being the longest. And reducing lengths on the other ones from there. I’m still confused as in how you where able to make that long one to synchronize.
I seen a couple of videos but somehow no one shows how to actually to connect the electrical part ? Should I put the projector in the back of the headliner ? And usually it comes with a short cable so where do I get power ??
So a bunch of other people I've seen do this say not to use the drill cause it makes the headliner look bad in the daytime? What are your thoughts on that? Did you do it because the velvet doesn't do that?
That’s fantastic! Between you and MacKenzie how many manhours do you think you have into it? Looks really tedious and time-consuming, but worth the results!
Thank you and yes very time consuming but 100% worth it, can’t wait to see it in the truck. And as far as man hours, oh boy if I had to guess probably just in the starlight 8-12 hours after work but that’s getting set up every time, setting up the camera etc. Someone with a free weekend could knock it out in a weekend.

I also had a few wrinkles and rips in the suede but its not horrible because you can barely see it. The panels were the worst part.

If your doing this and you live in a hot climate go with crazy glue over hot glue because i cut the stands flush and the summertime heat inside the car would make the hot glue loose enough where the pressure of the headliner and top of the car would push the fibers out a tiny bit
