    Scanned OEM, mold starting up for the red one.
    Yes. The photos above are actually MGM. Here’s a side by side comparison.
    I actually like MGM in the Tacoma interior better.. the black actually stands out more. The MGM blends well with the other silver/gray interior accents.

    After looking at the pictures, the gear designs definitely grew on me for the vent rings :D

    How "shortly" is shortly?! :spending:

    Thanks Meso!

    Yeah, although the vent rings are “gear” shaped, the cutouts are very subtle. Once installed, it’s barely even noticeable IMO. I don’t want my mods to stand out and look like add ons.

    Where does one get a "soft plastic tool" to remove the chrome pieces?

    The only time you’ll need a soft plastic would be for the far right air vent. The rest of the panels all snap off and you can remove the stock chrome bezels with a small flat head(or my weapon of choice- pick tool).
    But Amazon should have the plastic pry tools

    I would love the burnt orange to match the factory trim and seat stiching. Pic doesnt do it justice but it's the one I've got right now

    Not 1 not 2 but 3 product launches just to piss off all the people that can't get all 3 at once and make sure the need to kill all chrome is fulfilled. But walt, there's more! A sweet red push to start mention earlier as well. It'll be the 3rd gen interior lights all over again ahahahahaha I love it

    Any thoughts on deleting the chrome Toyota logo on the steering wheel?

    Haha.. you have unfoiled my master plan!
    But really, it comes down to manufacturing time. If I waited and did everything at once, you guys wouldn’t have anything for at least another month or so. I’m trying to get stuff out in a timely manner. Also, I feel each kit will be a value for what they are so Don’t think of it as nickel and diming;)


    This has crossed my mind..
    I have 2 issues with it though;
    1)Liability: airbag goes off and any aftermarket item on the steering wheel can become a projectile. Not saying any of my fellow TW’s would take Me to court, but you never know:(
    2)Installation: since the chrome “T” is held on through the back, it is necessary to take the wheel off and disassemble the air bag in order to remove it. This goes from “DIY”—>”SKETCHY” for some people.

    I have however created one and have been running it on my truck.
