[Mk2] [Generic] Changing the roof liner colour??

[Ryan S]

ok, it's always bugged me that the roof lining and t-bar blinds are grey on the inside, i have stuff at work that could change it to black, it's ink i use on black carpet and mats, it bloody stinks though, smells toxic, i know the car would stink for ages if i used it, has anyone done this before??

any other options???

Cheers

wouldnt they loose shape if you get them too wet?

sure i spotted a black set on ebay (nothing to do with me mind)

[Ryan S]

possibly, the ink stuff i have dries in almost instantly so i doubt that would be a problem, i just don't wanna use it due to the toxic smell

There were factory black linings, might be worth looking for them first.

I think REV 1's came with black interior plus thicker carpet! You would also need to change the sun visors & interior light housing for the full affect.

Look out for a breaker near you.

Edit: and T-Bar shades.

I changed the headlining in my rev3 from grey to black. It's a bit of a pain getting the new headlining in without bending it but other than that fairly straight forward. Can be done without removing the seats but you do have to remove a lot of trim.

As mentioned, you will want interior lamp and blinds (and blind clips) to match. I got mine from a rev1 turbo, it was a bit of a pain to find one for a tintop. I imagine replacing it on a t-bar is a nightmare!

[stuMR2lee]

I did the change in my previous REV3 T-Bar.

It was actually fairly easy if memory serves me right. Just take your time and remove the T-bars, sun visors, interior light, and rearview mirror first. Headlining is clipped to the roof. Just lift the T-Bar rubbers a bit to see where the headlining starts.

Actually thinking about it I guess the t-bar headlining is easier to get into the car and manoever around the seats etc than a tintop or sunroof one - the cut outs for the t-bars will fit around the B pillars nicely.

ah great, so i'm looking for a rev1 breaker then?? were all the rev 1's black??

[alanmr2turbo]

yep, all rev1 -tbars had a black headlings. God knows why Toyota changed to grey as it looks naff.

VHT sell carpet and trim colour dye. Used it on my old E36 coupe when changing the plasticated trim from grey to black. Worked perfectly - you would never have known......

Claustrophobia I expect. Having a black headlining does make the interior feel a bit smaller.

suppose this could be quite a bit cheaper than buying all the bits!!

[Ryan S]

this stuff looks great, i might end up doing the WHOLE interior a stupi colour though
