    I have had my 08 Tacoma a few months now and I saw this post 1-2 weeks after I got it. I can't stop thinking about it! That really does look great. I did not think twice about the material on the arm rests until I saw this post. The original material is cheesy I should say. I may do this if I find the time.

    Thought I would post my arm rest mods. Nothing different than others before me, used black vinyl and 3m spray adhesive. Only difference in my mod is that I did several mods at one time, added power windows and power door locks all at the same time. I am very happy with the results. If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to share my experience with this.
