E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Upgrading E-Class Headliner...... to Starlight Style (Rolls Royce)

After I showed it to him on Phantom Coupe, friend of mine loved it & decided he must have something very similar.....

Any ideas on how to aftermarket install the fiber optic lights (10K option from R-R....)

Or where to purchase accessories ?

Thanks in advance

I saw that on top gear when they were testing the phantom and I remember thinking "WTF...That $h!t looks like some tacky limo from 1998....who would ever want that, let alone in a friggin' ROLLS???".

Not trying to pick on your tastes or anything, but seriously...some things look better in your head than they do on your car. You might wana re-think this one.

I'm sorry, but this $h!t is just tacky. It literally looks like some cheesy limo from 1986...

you could just get some of those glow in the dark stars you used to stick on your ceiling as a kid, or cut open a glow stick and just flick the stuff all around

have your friend go ask around at a nearby limo builder - they do this kind of stuff all the time. be absolutely sure NOT to get the multicolored fiber optics -- they look really, really, really bad.

good luck!

IDK...you could probably buy some shrooms and poke yourself in the eye and get the same effect...it would be cheaper and you can always go back to "stock"...

I would expect that from a tricked out lowrider Escalade than a $400K (I'm just guessing on that) phantom...

I also saw that car on Top Gear and I think they made fun of the ceiling on the show. Reminds me of the popcorn ceiling in my grandma's old house with gold glitter everywhere!


I couldn't believe that Rolls Royce even offered this as an option

Personally, I think it looks pretty cool. Would I get it on my E? Definitely not.

I absolutely cannot believe Rolls Royce would put something like that in their cars.
