Wood trim

I have them on cardomain. I'm pic posting challenged and domain is kinda easy. My user name is GetGraphics. I'm also in the cardomain Solaraguy group. I'm gonna try and post some step by step shots tomorrow. I took some today but I was by myself since everyone else was afraid of the snow but they might give you an idea. My shop site is www.elitesigns.us

Oh great! I like a lot the fact that you put the vinyl everywhere on the headunit bezel. I have the exact same interior, 2 tones with leather.
Mine doesn't look great like yours.

It's sad that I live so far, or I would give you cash to make mine! I only want the headunit bezel, the shifter and the door control.

This morning I was looking my wood effect, I like it, for now it's doing the job, and it looks amazing on the shifter. The flat black plastic on the shifter was always disturbing me, i was so ugly and looks like a cheap car interior part. Now it looks nice.

Im gonna take pics soon as I can.

Yes on Ebay, but don't buy this kit, it's hard to install and it's too thin, get a thicker kit on Ebay, it will probably do a a "bubble" effect over the part,but it will be easier to install. it's my advice.

:D That's why they make different tea flavor. Some likes wood, some CF, some let it stock. But Toyota were selling the car with this wood trim, so it doesn't make the interior look aftermarket or mods.

I like it, but it's not essential that's for sure.

Here's what I did. My wood trim in my Solara was VERY faded.. almost white... from years in the sun. I took some Meguiars polish (Swirl Remover) and just hand polished each piece. They look absolutely BRAND new and extremely reflective. Very dark. Looks NEW. Try it and take your time.
