Some masking tape and an afternoon will get ya this.

Once you start, it's hard to stop. I haven't had mine a month yet and I've blacked out my headlights, installed vertical LEDs, and I'm going to reupholster my doors this week. It's a lot of fun.

You should look into Clazzio seat covers, best fitting seat covers on the market.

@Danny - what type of paint?

welcome...

I used rustoleum plastic primer and then rustoleum acrylic enamel. It's pretty strong once it cures. I got both at Autozone for about $6 each.

Dj_Spreewell

Awesome, thanks! I was thinking orange and blue..(Knicks colors).. how do u think that would turn out?

It would definitely go well with your exterior color. I'll tell you that the passenger side vent is the hardest one to get out. You have to start pulling the dash apart down by the door frame. It takes some muscle to lift it high enough to get a stubby Phillips head in there. There are 3 screws holding it in. The center 2 vents just pop right off the dash with the bezel. Driver's side is easy too._That whole dash piece pops off too.

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, those are the TRD wheels right?!

Nope.

Just a set of after-market wheels that the dealership installed before they put it on the sales lot. Also one more item for them to mark up and make profit on.

Dj_Spreewell

all i know is i ended up getting them for free! the dealer sold me the car and i had it for like a week and they called me to come back. when i get there he says they couldnt get the bank to loan the 3,000 extra for the wheels and tires so my price dropped by 3k and i keep the wheels! sweet deal for me!

RS8smurfette

Yeah you are right. They look a lot like the TRD wheels though!
