The link isn't loading for me but if that is a link for the vinyl dash trim kit then its ****.I bought it right after I got my car and it was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent.I would highly reccommend you just buy some primer,(I used grey but if you can find red then get it) some 400 grit paper and some red spray paint (I used general motoros bright red but if you can find toyota red then get it)I used 4 small cans and I barely had enough.If you can't do it then find a friend or someone who could help you.It will only cost you about 20 bucks and it looks alot better then any kit you can buy.Hope this helps some |

Yea the passenger side vent was really hard for me too.But the glovebox was the hardest to get loose.Took me about 2 and a half hours.There just isn't any room to work in and the damn pins are hard as hell to get loose lol. This post has been edited by WBW_031: Feb 11, 2004 - 6:15 PM |

The only thing that concerns me about painting is, once painted it cannot be restored to its original condition

You could always just sand it back to the original color |

My trim was KIA when my stereo got jacked... anyone know of a places that makes trim panels that aren't stick-on?
Getting it for 140 from Toyota just doesn't seem right :-\ Junkyard will be my next best bet... but I wouldn't mind spending money on some aluminum or carbon fiber... This post has been edited by mr_dude: Feb 16, 2004 - 1:56 AM --------------------  |

Sush, was that a stick-on kit or did it actually plug/screw into the brackets/holes??? Looks nice.
