Owning a Rolls-Royce Cullinan already places you in a small club. Owning one and wishing it looked like the newer Series II creates an even narrower niche. A California company called Stars In The Ceiling appears ready to serve exactly those customers with a conversion package designed for the pre-facelift luxury SUV.
Rather than creating an aggressive aftermarket interpretation, the tuner chose a different route. The goal centers on reproducing the appearance of the updated Series II model as closely as possible. The project recently shared on social media started life as a first-generation Cullinan before receiving a long list of exterior revisions intended to mirror the facelifted version introduced by Rolls-Royce.
The conversion reaches far beyond a simple bumper swap. Work includes modifications to the front and rear bumper assemblies, headlights, grille, Spirit of Ecstasy covers, exhaust finishers, chrome trim, radiator air covers, internal brackets, and additional supporting components. Viewed from a distance, the SUV presents itself as a genuine Series II. That seems to be the entire point.
Stars In The Ceiling also developed a Black Badge variation of the package. According to the company, two conversions have already been completed. Activity appears steady. Five more examples are currently under construction, and the tuner expects seven or eight finished vehicles by the end of June 2026.
Interestingly, the mechanical side remains untouched because there is little incentive to chase extra output. Both generations already share substantial performance credentials. The Black Badge specification relies on a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 producing 591 horsepower, equal to 441 kW or 600 PS. Torque reaches 664 pound-feet, or 900 Nm.
A brief pause here. Numbers tell only part of the story.
The standard Cullinan uses the same engine architecture. Output drops to 563 hp, equivalent to 420 kW or 571 ps. Torque falls to 627 pound-feet, or 850 Nm. Even so, few owners are likely to describe either version as lacking strength.
The Cullinan first entered production in 2018 at the Rolls-Royce facility in Goodwood, England. Six years later, the manufacturer introduced the Series II update. Beyond visual revisions at the front, the refreshed model gained larger wheels, revised interior materials, expanded personalization possibilities, and updated technology focused on the infotainment interface and digital instrument display.
For owners of earlier examples, purchasing a new vehicle is not the only path toward the latest look. This California conversion package delivers a visual bridge between generations while preserving the original vehicle underneath. Judging by the number of projects already underway, interest in the idea appears stronger than many might expect.
