Alcantara headliner is still offered in the Q7 outside the US market. It was part of the "Luxury package" in the US which they dropped for 2011. You can still order the parts from Audi... but it's extremely expensive and I have to think the labor would be high for the install. ~ gregtay

i love it, was this an oem headliner that you ordered or did you have a shop wrap your original liner?
how much did it cost with the black pieces to replaces the 'silver' pieces?
i have been reading all in, this is something around $3500 after installation, is that true?
i would like to do this with mine, since it is silver and i have black interior. the two tone look is not for me, i hated it on the a3 and having black or alcantara headliners in every other car i am a bit spoiled by it and used to it.
*btw; the rear controls and dome lights arent installed properly. take a look at them.

As far the domelight alignment...I was replacing one of the dome lightbulbs and didn't snap it in place properly when I took the shot. Good eye!

The main reason I went with the Alcantara is becasue I went with black on black and I wanted to break up the flow of the interior more.

Thanks! The price would have been $3500 which is what I was willing to pay when I placed the order. Turns out the dealer forgot to special order it when they placed the order. As a result, they offered to pay for and install it when it came in.

I wish I would of ordered this for my Q5, it was only 1250 euro ($1795) for it. I was thinking about it, and was hoping they would also have a Alcantara Steering wheel so it would match my seats also.

I finally had my alcantara headliner installed. It looks very nice and suprisingly, makes the B&O sound even tighter. It definitely helps break up the interior when you go Black on Black inside. It actually looks darker then the photos show since I used my flash on my camera to bring out the alcantara. Let me know what you guys think!
