Had My 23 MYP Headliner Reupholstered with Alcántara

[JaeTheDev]

I missed my 21 MSLR Alcántara headliner, so I found a nice shop in Johnston, RI called Towne Auto Upholstery. They did an amazing job. Matches the OEM alcantara trim pieces perfectly (note the B-pillar and door trim pic below).

Some might not like the light colored plastic trim pieces still remaining, but I dont mind it. I think it adds a nice contrast, actually. Definitely feels more premium now!

It should have come like that from the factory. Or at least black fabric if not alcantara.

Agreed, 100%!

So how much did it cost and how long did it take?

Cost for about $1,500, which is really inexpensive seeing most places charge $2,000-$4,000. Dropped off on a Tuesday night, picked up the following Friday. Not bad at all!

Still not a horrible price, especially if its a really nice installation. Please, share some pics! Out of the 6 Teslas Ive had over the years, this might be my favorite mod on them all Ive done. Changes the vehicle totally inside.

Looks amazing. Only other step left is to find a way to replace the OEM trim pieces with ones that are darker.

personally, I don’t mind the trim being lighter. Doesn’t bother me at all. I though5 it would though.

I’ve done a black leather in one of my previous cars when the headliner, a, b and c pillars were wrapped. Ended up buying all the oem trim pieces in black to go with it. It was a PITA as I had to do the door seals too. In the end, it was worth it.

Does Tesla make those in a darker color?

Not for the 3 or Y. They have to be upholstered or dyed.

that looks soo much better.

$1500 is really worth it.

i was thinking about getting the kit from unplugged to change mine out.

They did, and Im thinking of taking it off at some point. Doesnt look horrible but I dont mind the trim being another color personally.

Front dome trim could be painted matt black, rear dome can be wrapped. Would blend in very nicely!

Again, it doesn’t brother. Think it would actually look odd if only the front was dyed, as the visors hardware is also the same color as well as the seatbelt mechanism which both a a bitch to fully dismantle. Also, Model Ys do not have a rear dome. They have two side lights which also have the coat hanger clips. They would need to be dyed as well.

in the end, yes, dying would be more consistent, but the hassle of doing so vs the outcome is null to me because as stated, I actually like the contrast.
