I'm not a fan of blacked-out trim and badges, but I love what you did to the vent trim. The lighting you did in the hatch trim is a great idea, too.

I bought some of those 3D mats for my car. Couldn't stop thinking about how slick they look vs. the Weathertech's after seeing your pic of them in your car.

They arrived super fast from the online retailer I bought them from and I like the way they look/feel in hand. Can't wait to get my car back from the body shop to see how they look inside. I'm hoping they improve the feel of my interior over the 10 yr old factory carpet mats that are looking a little tired, and am really hoping they go up high enough on the missing dead pedal to cover the light wear spot in the carpet that's developed over the years. I see that they do in your year, just hoping it's the same for the 2nd gen's.

Thanks again for posting about them!

Yeah, nothing major, thanks.

I had some minor spider cracking and a few scratches on my rear bumper from my better half leaving her car door open in the garage and me not noticing it in the dark while backing into my spot. Just bumped it and it popped her door closed. No damage to her door, but it got me a little. It also put about a 2" crack in my tail light, but I got a replacement from someone here on the forum.

Also having the body shop do a color sand and buff on the whole car to get it looking super crispy for All Toyotafest in Long Beach next Saturday. Would have had the work done anyway, as I love keeping my car looking sharp (much cheaper than buying a new one), but showing it at All Toyotafest just gave me even more of an excuse lol.

Sorry to OP for going off topic...

Tire rack has some decent brand name ish wheels, I wish I would have bought these sparco wheels they have in bright green, I was just feeling cheap and conservative when I bought my last set.

I'm pretty happy with my vision wheels. Got them new to my door for about 300 usd I think

Great start. Not feeling the yellow, but that's because I like subtle things (that might make me boring, lol).

Like what you did with the cloth on the dash. Door speaker install is nice, too.
