After swapping out my rear window for a slider, redoing the Interior and dealing w rust (black converter spray) ive decided it’s time to clean it up and cover it.

I was looking to buy the trim moldings that run along the edges of the cab and hood the headliner, as well as buying a new headliner. Is there any significant difference in quality from the new stuff vs the old? I know some people tend to praise OE and only use OE, but I detest using 30+ old plastics when it can be avoided.

price wise new is cheaper by about 30-50$ depending on the eBay market.

also open to other ideas in how to resolve the black spots, inside paint is original, but the rattle cans that supposedly paint match don’t. I also considered painting the inside black but that seems like a ton more work.
Ideally I’d like it to look 7-8/10 where as now I feel like it’s 4-5/10.
