How Much Does a Starlight Headliner Cost in Edmonton? (2026 Price Guide)
A starlight headliner, also called a star roof, starlight roof, fiber optic headliner or galaxy roof, replaces the plain fabric above your head with hundreds of hand placed fiber optic stars driven by a hidden LED engine. It is the Rolls-Royce style ceiling people search for after seeing it in a Phantom or Cullinan, and the first question is always the same: how much does a starlight headliner cost in Edmonton? Here is our real pricing, what moves it up or down, and how to decide between a DIY kit and a professional install.
Our transparent Edmonton starlight headliner pricing
We publish our two core starlight packages so you are not chasing a mystery number. The 400pc starlight headliner is $1,450 and the 600pc starlight headliner is $1,600, and twinkle is included in both — it is not an upsell. Every quote we give is all inclusive: labour, fiber, LED engine, remote, wiring, headliner removal and reinstall. There is no shop supplies line, no surprise trim charge and no extra fee for coming back if something needs a tweak. If your build needs more than the standard package, we tell you the number before we touch the vehicle, not after.
What actually affects the price
Star count is the biggest lever. More stars means more drilling, more fiber to terminate and more time trimming each strand flush, which is why 600pc sits above 400pc. Vehicle size matters next. A crew cab Ram, F-150 or Silverado has far more roof area than a Charger or a coupe, so the same star count reads thinner up top — full size trucks and large SUVs usually want the 600pc package or more. Effects add time. Twinkle is included, but shooting stars are separate meteor channels that streak on their own timing and are quoted individually. Custom constellations, your initials, or a mapped night sky for a specific date all add layout work. Headliner material and condition is the quiet one. Suede and Alcantara headliners, sagging older boards, panoramic sunroof cassettes and rear entertainment screens all change how long removal and reinstall takes.
DIY kit vs professional install
Cheap Amazon starlight kits look like a bargain until you are standing in your driveway with a headliner board on the garage floor. The common failure is piercing the fabric from the front: the fiber tears a visible hole, the fabric frays around every star, and glue bleeds through the nap. A cracked or stained headliner board is a $400 to $800 replacement on most vehicles before you restart, and a visibly butchered ceiling is one of the fastest ways to hurt resale value at trade in. We install from behind. The headliner comes out, every strand is fed through the backing and trimmed flush, and the board goes back looking factory. It is fully reversible. If you are genuinely handy and want to do it yourself, we also ship DIY starlight kits across Canada and the United States with pre terminated fiber and instructions, and we stay reachable by phone or text while you work. That is a real option — we would just rather you buy a kit that works than a mystery box that does not.
Mobile install vs in shop in Edmonton
We run mobile service across Edmonton and the surrounding communities including Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont and Fort Saskatchewan. We come to your driveway, garage, condo parkade or workplace, and there is no travel fee inside that area. Full starlight builds are usually better in shop at our Edmonton T5Z facility, where temperature and dust are controlled and the headliner board can sit safely on a bench. Most other lighting work — rock lights, ambient lighting, cab lights, hood strips — is finished same day at your place. We also install in Metro Vancouver on scheduled trip dates, so if you are in Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey or Coquitlam, reach out early and we will put you on the next run.
Is it worth $1,450?
For most people the honest answer is yes, because it is one of the few interior mods you notice every single night drive. It is cheaper than a set of wheels, cheaper than a wrap, and it is the thing every passenger reacts to. Where it is not worth it: if you are selling the car in a few months, or if the headliner is already sagging and needs to be recovered first. Tell us and we will say so — we would rather quote the recover job honestly than build a star field onto a failing board.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a starlight headliner cost in Edmonton?
$1,450 for the 400pc package and $1,600 for the 600pc package, with twinkle included in both. Larger vehicles, shooting stars, custom constellations and 800pc+ builds are quoted individually.
Does a starlight headliner drain the car battery?
No. The LED engines draw very little power and are wired to a switched circuit, so they turn off with the vehicle and will not flatten your battery overnight.
Can it be installed without removing the headliner?
We do not recommend it. Piercing from inside the cabin tears the fabric and looks obvious. We drop the headliner, install every strand from behind and reinstall, which keeps the finish factory clean and fully reversible.
How long does the install take?
Most lighting work is done the same day. Full starlight headliner builds usually take one to two days depending on star count and vehicle.
Do you offer mobile install?
Yes, anywhere in Edmonton, Vancouver and the surrounding areas. We come to your driveway, garage or parkade, and bigger starlight builds can be booked into the shop instead.
