Thank you. If I'm being perfectly honest, this still needs more work. Some strands need fine trimming and some bits of fabric are hanging down from the headliner, giving it a very rough look in the daylight. Maybe someday I'll make it perfect, but for now I'm pretty happy.

I think it's yours, everyone else can see them just fine. The headliner is the fabric ceiling in your car.

It is a concern, but only time will tell. I live in GA, and the car is black so that's not a good combo. It's never been unbearably hot inside even after being in the sun all day though.

2004 Xterra. If you got a thin, cheap fabric the lights should not have any problem shining through. They are surprisingly bright.

Thanks! I did save the original headliner if I ever want to go back to it. While I'm never getting rid of this vehicle, in theory I could swap out the fiber optics to another headliner.

I used hot glue instead of epoxy, but yes.

Wow, for Rolls-Royce $2k is cheap, especially if the description is accurate.
> First, the leather is perforated with 800 to 1,600 holes, each carefully counted. Fibre optic lights are set into these holes. The craftsperson then ensures that the height of the fibres is correct on the concealed side, and that they’re set perfectly on the visible leather surface, ready to shine.
I put in no where near that effort, I just set 'em and forget em' and used a pair of nail clippers to get them aligned with the headliner.
