    Hi Guys,

    My 2 cents, I love light exterior and interior to reduce heat in the summer. With all the out door activities it was not practical, so started buying ones with black seats. But happy the headliner is not black so it won't radiate the heat at my head in summer.

    I’ve never understood the whole blackout thing, but to each his own I guess. The black interior is the thing I like least about my 4Runner.

    Could try Rit Dye. I’ve seen mixed results with it on other vehicles though

    I can't imagine using black dye on the entire headliner and light gray trim would turn out very well, but who knows...?

    Why do something that will drastically reduce your 4Runner's re-sale value?
