Soft cover ("Parade Boot"?) for verts

by **sparkler** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 7:48 pm

Hey - did anyone with ivory leather get an ivory padded cover? The 'stock photos' of the '06s show an ivory cover....but I got a gray one. Can't decide if I like it or not :roll:

...it DOES match the color that wraps around above the woodgrain, but I really like the pics of the ivory one.

Any idea where I can get info on one??? Thanks for any ideas

I would go back to the dealer and tell them to give you the right color. They probably swapped it out for another customer.

I've never seen an Ivory boot - are you sure they make one??

I sure wish they were a better design. I'm seriously thinking about making a hard boot (fiberglass) some day and having it finished to match my ride.

Good luck with your search! Hope the dealer can help you out (if they do exist)

Keep an eye out on this website, toyotanation.com and ebay.com

My boot is the darker color too. I've seen a number of Ivory colored interior cars in my area, and they all have the darker color boot.

I bet those bastards at Toyota just had someone make that boot as an after-thought... all in one color too!

It just HAD to be "phoned-in" as you'd swear it was designed for a different car when you try to put that turd on! :roll:

If you saw the design of that pig, you'd understand why I say that... a REAL design engineer wouldn't be caught dead putting their name on the plans for that POS!!!

I have a 2004 and my boot matches the color of the interior, which is beige/tan.

I guess it doesn't behoove Toyota engineers to make like the more expensive cars and have it retract under a tonneau either...

Do you have any pics?

Naw - that would be asking too much! :roll:

Of course if they did it would add another $5K to the sticker price...

I'm just glad I don't have to put the damn top up/down by hand!
