Any foreign fits have black headliners?
 
I'm wanting to recover my headliner in Alcantara but the problem then becomes all of the trim bits being beige. Did a foreign-market GE Fit come with a black headliner?

FitStir 01-26-2012 11:26 AM

The oh sht handles :D come in black from other Honda's (here in the US). I have the part #'s on a spreadsheet (which I have to search for) if you need them. Even the one with the coat hanger (comes in black), actually bought that one since we only have 1 from the factory (so now I have 2 rear w/coat hanger hooks).

Not sure about the dome light, but if you do the Acura Homelink mod on the maplights, those consoles are also available on ebay (in black). For the dome I'm not sure about.

I think that leaves the mirror which should also be available in black from other Honda models, but maybe not the same exact mirror. :confused:

Ohhhh, and that little plastic cover for the baby seat. (maybe try off an RDX/MDX).

I've been researching this for a while since I'm also going to wrap my headliner (black leather), whenever I get the sunroof installed. :hyper:

Your other option is to pull every little piece out and use interior dye to change it. I also hate the beigish/tanish/grayish color that almost all auto manufactures have gone to for the top half of the interior. In my specV I used G2 products to change the entire interior to black and it came out fantastic. Held up great with no scratch marks or peeling even in the FL heat. The key is to clean the parts with degreaser and then use their primer/adhesion promoter before applying the dye/paint.

I then took the headliner and visors to an auto upholsterer and had him recover them. That combined with a Katzkin leather kit and it was a very, very nice interior.

I won't dye my parts, unfortunately. If I'm going to spend many hundreds or thousands to re-do my interior, I want it to look as original as possible.

I don't understand the difference between buying the same part in black and just dyeing yours. Many of the parts are molded in one color and then dyed from the factory.

Personal preference.

Thank you

The stock GE8 grab rail (oh sht handles) is below (info taken from hondapartsunlimited)
GRAB RAIL ASSY. *NH220L* (CLEAR GRAY) 83240-SNA-A01ZC

Black- 83240-SNA-A01ZE GRAB RAIL ASSY. *NH167L* ( GRAPHITE BLACK ) 07 - 09MDX

Stock rail w/Coat hanger - 83240-SNA-A11ZC Black w/ coat hanger 83240-SNA-A11ZE (also from an 07-09 MDX)

I got bored one day and started looking up part #'s the last letter of the part # is the color code C - Clear gray (same color on our GE8's), E = graphite black, but an Acura part (so it wont show up on a strictly Honda parts search, on hondapartsunlimited you can search between the 2 divisions, just don't enter what car you have makes the search easier). They even have ivory, reg. gray, etc. etc, just change the last letter.

Shouldn't be too hard to find the black counterparts (if they're made) just takes time. https://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/...=ROOF%20LINING

Thank you :)

FitStir 01-26-2012 07:34 PM

Anytime, Matt.

From a quick search it looks like it might just be the grab rails, and the map light (if you get a different one like the Homelink console mod in black off ebay or somewhere) something like this below but in black.

Doesn't look like the sunvisors, or the child seat cover in the rear comes in black (but they might). :confused: At least the visors you can wrap also but the plastic pieces I dunno :confused: :confused: :confused:

Didn't check for the dome, or other tidbits.

BlueBoogers 01-26-2012 08:31 PM

I hope I can source everything or it's just not worth it to me. :/

BlueBoogers 01-29-2012 10:11 AM

Went and looked at Acura headliners. I found all of the bits except for the map light, which I don't want to convert to homelink with.

Yes, please post up part #'s you find Blue.

There must be a maplight only unit from an Acura in black.

Did you ever figure out how to remove # 11? It doesn't even come to my mind as to which part that is. That's not the handles is it?


Thanks for posting the part #'s you found. :wavey:

Jamy 01-30-2012 11:16 AM

11 is the rear middle seat belt cover. It think it just pops off but i've never tried before so don't just take my word for it.

FitStir 01-30-2012 11:18 AM

Oooooh... yeah they should pop off, but I never tried it either. Might be a trick as to which side you pop off first?

Jamy 01-30-2012 11:20 AM

I'm in class at the moment but I can check when I leave in about 25 minutes.
