Thread: Locating scrap or salvage yard parts cars....?

Hmmmm....in the future I would certainly give that a try. However, right now I am literally in the middle of moving, up to my ass in alligators, have no place or space whatsoever to work on said headliner (boxes every-freakin'-where) and want my cars interior done before I move to Louisiana.

So this time, off the my upholstery shop it goes. Along with my visors and A-pillar trim.


Thank you sir, this paint?

SEM Products - Catalog - Color Coat

I want all my interior trim parts to be black like "could have come directly from Nissan that way" kind of black. No tell-tale "easily scratched" or weirdness to the color, finish or uniformity. Clean, black, stock-looking.

I can wait on the trim until I am relocated, for now just clean it and reinstall it (light blue, bleh) with my new black headliner and visors. Then when I have both the time and space, I can address either 1) salvage yard replacements from other Nissan/Infiniti products, or 2) spraying it to match.


This thread has practically turned into a "Newbs Guide to Salvage Yard Hopping."

Which is awesome for a mechanical newb like me.

buy a couple of scrap headliners to resurface for practice... they can be tricky in the grooves if you let it stretch over the valleys too much on accident

Just to add, you can also get black grab handles from a Fourth Gen 95-99 Maxima and they are exactly the same as the B13 SE-R grab handles. Not an upgrade per se, but factory black.

All B13 grab handles are not created equally. The SE-R ones are different from the base model grab handles.

And apparently the Limited Edition B13's (GA16 motor) came with the SE-R interior trim and seats.

good info! factory black is always better than painting..




yes, my 1994.5 LE (2 door) came with SE-R interior (sans leather shift knob & boot), front bumper and I think the tail lights were even the same, but it had the hub caps that came on the lesser 1994 Sentra's.. and of course the 1.6L

very sweet.. but sort of random in this thread i think

I knew I've heard that before somewhere. In the high milage thread.

Too much to do, too little time to do it.

I took the headliner to the same place that did my doors awhile back. I had them cover the A-pillars with the same material as the doors, recover the visors, dye the rest of the plastic bits black. They do good upholstery work, the "dyed" stuff scratched nearly immediately. However, with my factory black Maxima handles, and the A-pillars covered with matching black vinyl to the doors, it still all looks terrific.


In my experience, painting/dye sucks. Factory black plastic trim stuff is the way to go. I will eventually replace all the plastic interior bits with factory black peices.

I "discovered" the LE with a reasonably intact "SE-R" interior () at the scrapyard and stripped a bunch of stuff.



The only thing weirder than the off-topic quote from a post I cannot even find, is the fact that both of you are attributing it to a different forum member.

Then its not just me I thought I was crazy because I couldn't find it to quote them together to show the two different members posting exactly alike. At least now I regained some sanity (for now).

me either.. VERY weird.. like a little glitch on the forum..
