Swap RHD door panel into LHD car?

[Kiske]

Been chasing down the OEM red interior for my car and have what I need.

If your not familiar the OEM red (or Hazelnut) parts include the center console divider and cup holders, the seats, the steering wheel and the DRIVER SIDE door panel. The passenger side door panels do not come with the colored accents.

So, my question is, has anyone sourced a driver side door panel from a RHD car and installed it into their LHD car's passenger side making the accents match?

If it has been done, does anyone have a reliable source for the parts?

My friend has a yellow CF w/red interior and first time I saw that I couldn’t believe they’d do that. It would drive my crazy!

If all you would have to do is switch the window switch trim, then it should fit.

I just got a A-91 MT with the hazelnut interior. I also am wondering where to source the drivers side ( right hand drive ) door panel so I can swap mine out. I'd like to have the hazelnut on both sides. Has anyone done this successfully?

They should fit fine, but the door panel controls are going to be driver side, so you could either have dummy window controls on the passenger side, or swap the plastic control panel. The plastic panel with the controls isn't easily interchangeable either, I think it's plastic welded together onto the entire door card.

So.... I assume no one has a solution?

Hazelnut interior here and I also had the same idea. Get door card from RHD car and boom.

Might be something that has to be ordered and shipped from Japan or Austria?

Also the rear hatch switch is on the drives door card as well on the RHD model which will just be a decoration on a LHD car.

Probably a much simpler and cleaner solution is to have the black door panel reupholstered in your desired color.

That is simply a cover. Pop it out of the old and swap it over when you swap the electronics to the new door card.

Ok, so they make the hatch switch interchangeable but not the main armrest switch plate assembly. Disappointing.

The colored portion whether it's red or cognac is interchangeable. The hatch switch is on the black portion and that's black on all color trims.

Do you even look at anything on a supra? Can you please stop posting misinformation. Phil.

Exactly.

Exactly.

If I did that then you'd have nothing to do with your life.
