bayside_supra Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi everyone I am in the process of getting my whole interior retrimmed. Part of the project is going removing to be the horrible grey headlining and replace it with black alcantara. I am convinced this will look amazing. The only thing I cannot work out is that all the plastic parts in the headlining; sunvisor hinges, light surrounds, bolt covers (aerotop) are also light grey. You can see the problem in the pics bellow. These are going to look odd against the black alcantara. I know the later Supra's had leather look, black headlining, I'm guessing these bits were all black on those? Can you buy these parts from Toyota? I hope so as I don't want to paint them as it never lasts. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Funny i saw this thread - just the other day i sat in an Audi Q7 with black alacantara headlining and thought, this would look really nice in the supra. You are correct, the stock black headlining came with black hardware. Roof light, clips and visor retainers. Im sure you could get these from toyota if need be, doubt it will be friendly to the wallet though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Well I might aswell find out how much they are. I don't suppose anyone has a parts diagram do they? Or can get some part numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 does this have what you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 As you have an aerotop it may be more difficult. I had a NA facelift Aero once but can't recall if the roof was black? I'd check out the US for pics, they have loads more aerotops and you may find for sure that all the bits are available in black as standard.

bayside_supra Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 The diagrams and advice about the USA are very helpful! Thank you very mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Get them painted mate, done correctly it will last and be hard wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Paint them with proper plastic paint, or plastidip. I painted mine with normal Matt black and the heat in the car during the sun was enough to to make it crack and peel off. With plastidip it's been fine.

bayside_supra Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 The only thing that worries me is that I use the roof removal tool all the time and it would probably be quite easy to scratch them if they are painted. Is plastidip really strong then? Never used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Mines been fine, it's flexible so it's not the strongest but just be careful with the tool, it doesent touch the sides when you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Took me half a year to source all the bezels, new and used, from the uk, japan and usa. I had to buy a whole black headliner kit just to salvage the visors + clips and dome light at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike33 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My areotop came the same as your roof but black I didn't realise they came in different colours! I thought everyone's where black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Looks like plastidip is worth a try if it's all that hard to find. I wonder if Keron has anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Would this be better or worse than plastidip do we think? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/371550657200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
