Looks really good, you did it the same why we did mine with dremeling the nubs down on the back instead of drilling through. Now paint your speaker area

I just noticed that your door storage area doesn't go the length of the the door, like mine does... is that another change for '09?

I wanted the arm rests to match the Wet Okole seat covers. I contacted Wet Okole and they said they would sell me a yard of neoprene mat. for $60+(cant remember exact amount). On Ebay I bought used neoprene workout shorts for $14, decal $8. Cut up the shorts, brought them to alterer to sew on patches for $17. Did the install myself. Came out to approx. $22 a door with can of spray addhesive. Think it came out o.k. More pics. of how I did it are in my gallery. Can't figure out how to put multiple pix. on a post yet.

How does the neoprene wear..? What made you choose it over leather, if you don't mind me asking.?

TACONORM,

A fantastic idea and expertly executed.

It's absolutely amazing how many TW members can be so creative and out think Toyota.

Gotta add this one to my winter Tacoma project bucket list.

Thanks for sharing.
