Anyone done this mod? (1st post- New Member)

I took my TRD shift knob apart (see 2nd photo) and painted the gray panel red using Krylon spray paint.

 

Nice! Welcome to TW....

 

Neve thought of doing that. Thank you. Welcome!

 

Welcome to the forums! I like that kind of mod...cheap and looks good.

 

will look good blue to match my other trim. thanks

 

so, how to remove knob??

 

Welcome aboard. Nice first post. Here's one to ya

 

At first I thought this was my Interior. Until I saw that the seats were different. Haha. Did this mod about two years ago and I love it. adds a beautiful touch. Now you need to do the total blackout mods that @rrentrop makes for the interior. Check out my post here of my interior. Post #432

Welcome to TW!

Bright Innovating minds never seize to amaze me

 

Looks great, compliments the interior.

 

This looks good, what is qi charging well and the square cupholder well? I see red in there too.

 

The cupholder inserts are Tufskinz products. They have adhesive but for the qi charger I left the backing on and just pull it out when I use the charger. BTW, the cup is a 32oz Yeti and it fits perfectly without rattling and comes in several colors that appear to match the Tacoma colors.

 

To remove the knob twist the chrome ring at the base counterclockwise while pulling down. Then unscrew the knob. When removing the gray panel to paint it, best start at base with a screwdriver and work up both sides.

I knew I couldn't be the 1st to try this, but searched TW and didn't see anyone else posting in the idea. I'll check the blackout mods link you provided. Thanks!

 

Nice, Welcome to TW. That reminds me of the user here who really likes his inferno.

@Coastghoast11 did this to his. It had mixed reviews...
