It is a full on replacement piece. The limited edition tC piece that you were able to buy from Toyota has been discontinued so I am making my own.
I do not want to get into too many details because I would hate to be ripped off for all of my hard work but be assured paint match will be guaranteed or you can send them back for a full refund. You will have to remove your door panal to access the tumbler. The installation is easier then it seems once you remove the panal.
Just wait a few more days and it will be sent out to my tester.

So after all of the work I have put into the tC, we are starting over this week. Hopefully, this time it will work out.
Basically, we found out the previous owner of my car did some inhome body repairs and utterly failed so we are fixing what he did.
Since we are going to have to repaint an entire side, we will just repaint the whole car. Plus, some more audio stuff.
Hopefully that will be it for now.

It was pretty bad, once we really started looking it was super thick in some places and really thin in other. And to top it all of he just bondo'd over some holes and the paint by the holes started cracking. Me and the body shop guy were looking and I (having very little body repair expirence) could easily tell where he did some "work" on.

when I was in school for auto body repair the teacher gave us a tbird to repair.......he said no bondo........at all......took me 3 weeks to repair the rear end.........but I sure got good at metal work........holes should never be filled with bondo.......bondo is nothing more than a light skin to help the body man geta perfect smooth surface........
sad part is my buddie Chuck used my tools on his Buick and without training did a better job repairing the body panels than I could ever do.......it was amazing.
