Heres my latest interior pics. New seat covers, red TRD metal logo floor mats, and I painted a couple of trim pieces.

Now I need to cover the last remaining polka dots on the door panels, install my double DIN LCD DVD head unit, and add a chrome or stainless shifter knob and ebrake handle:thumbsup: (anyone have sources that fit the automatic for the last two? I got the head unit covered.)

Sparks has a shifter knob for auto, I am planning to get one with the pedal set:thumbsup:

So the covers fit nice a snug? Look like they fit well.

That's a lot of red.

The cup holders are sorta a PITA to remove.....be careful when removing them...some force is required... as for the air vents i have no clue. don't know if that helps but just letting you know.

here's a site that might help you remove the cup holdrs

No, no more paint. I am stopping you now. On to another project. :laugh:

Go get your door panels and headliner done in red or something.

Forgot to mention the final step in painting the trim: I applied a clear coat using Duplicolor clear acrylic enamel. Made the trim pieces glossy and helps the paint set.

I gotta say, I just started taking my interior apart last night, I had the whole console taken apart in like ten minutes. All the pieces are really accessible, and snap together, and snap apart really well. GO TOYOTA! just wanted to put that out there.

i want seat covers too but just to clarify, if i put those on and get in an accident it's going to cause a problem with the airbags right? i was told that some were attached to the seat or something

DO NOT use these seat covers with side air bags....

he might have stitched the TRD logo onto the carpets...someone else had it done as well after him.
