Blacked Out Dash Chrome

Was wondering about changing these out this week.

 

These still available, OP?

 

I'm not the OP, but yes they are. 24/7

Much appreciated, cemented

 

I have to wonder how much of the interior they actually share, because if they share sail panels, that would be killer.

 

The SR5s have black handles. I have one. Actually, I think I would rather have chrome handles to offset the black/gray interior.

 

I'd trade you my chrome handles for your black ones.

 

I'm more curious if this dash leather would look good on my Tan Taco.

 

I’d trade you lol

 

Message me and let's see if we can work it out. If not, I'm going to be spray wrapping my handles black.

 

I have chrome handles

 

Haha sorry, quoted the wrong person.

 

If the shipping is reasonable I would be willing. For either one of you.

 

That particular piece is a bit of a pain to remove/replace as I recall. There was some discussion in a thread around here where that piece shows bolts on both ends buried beneath the surrounding trim pieces. So you basically end up taking the center, console, right and glovebox apart to get it out.

 

Before I place an order I have one question. How's the vinyl hold up to the heat and cold blowing from the vents?

Edit: Sorry if this has been answered before. I tried browsing through a few pages but didn't find anything.

 

Mine are still looking stellar. These parts should see less environmental effects than vinyl stickers applied to the exterior? Those seem to hold up really well.

 

Ordered.

 

I did mine today, it took about three tries to get the technique right but once you get it down once it makes a little more sense.
For me rubbing on the outside edge of the trim first, then peel the backing then do the inside after you have the backing off.
"If it lifts with the tape firmly press it back down and try it again"
this step is really important, you might pull up the tape on the top edge 20 times before it really sticks thats okay just keep pressing it back down and rubbing with your finger nail till it stays down and the backing comes loose.

 

Mine are on. The selector ring is great. The vent rings are "good from far but far from good" (all install issue, the product is fine). The center console piece is horrendous, but I still have the second one to try.

 

I finally finished my install this past weekend and am super happy with everything. As others just mentioned making sure you have a good first contact around the outer edge makes everything else tons better. I also found since it’s warmed up a bit here, that leaving the decal on for 15-30 min (with backing paper still), and pressed on edges only, makes the removal of backing paper/transfer layer much easier. That, and patience
