To name a few:Do you remember any of their names?
As @A70TTR mentioned a bunch of parts are Discontinued! If you want 1997-1998 Interior Trims you might as well forget it! Check Supraforums (just don't mention the MKV and you should be good) Post what you need under "Elmhurst Toyota Scion," they will be able to help you out! Again, do NOT mention MKV! Good luck!Any suggestions?
Not too many on Ebay
Can we order directly from Toyota? . Did they discontinued interior parts?
Thanks for this informative reply !^^ Backing up everything everyone already suggested above.
Supraforums especially and also ebay (if you're lucky) and whatever other online forums have an active network of MKIV Supra enthusiast owners. SF maintains a list of known discontinued 1993-2002 MKIV parts. Some random cosmetic parts are probably still within Toyota's warehouses but I'm sure that supply is very low in most all cases IF it's not a discontinued part.
They only sold 12,000 cars roughly for the USA market through 1998. Just how it goes. It remains to be seen whether Toyota's recently announced Heritage Parts Program for the MKIII's and MKIV's will offer more than critical reproduced service parts for the drivelines. We'll have to wait on that to see just what they offer at all.
Not ALL MKIV related parts have been discontinued. But to restore one of those cars from the ground up especially cosmetically it would be a challenge today.
There is some specific aftermarket support that would aid in restoration. For instance, Stu Hagen on SF has been servicing MKIV speedometers and tachometers for a while now and he may have a couple other things in the works. He's also the guy who masterminded the infamous GT28 Hybrid sequential factory twin turbo kit upgrade.
The best thing to do is to start making a list of all the parts you think you'll need and start going into Toyota EPC diagrams (such as on partsouq) and start tracking things down as you need them.
hey JayOP,
What exactly are you looking for? I have thousands of dollars worth of spare new oem interior and exterior parts. I fully restored my mkiv supra's exterior and interior down to the bolts, nuts, clips and screws that hold everything together. I might have what you need but I can tell you it wont be cheap.
thanks man, this is what i was looking for, very good referenceimoj1, not specific to any parts but if this helps to give you some ideas in terms of scope, here's a very good restoration thread for a 1994 MKIV Twin Turbo Automatic:

I came across his site while searching, but in his website, seems that he only listing RHD parts, i will email him and see if he also sell LHDDNST motorsports - while he's based in Aus, can deal overseas easily.
He sourced nearly every new bit of OEM stuff I used in my rebuild - trims, seals, weatherstrips, lights, indicators, guard liners, brackets.... the lot
