    I guess the only thing you can do now is get a TRD Pro skid plate, Toytec Boss suspension, and a set of red wheels, something like some Volk te37s.

    I was orginally thinking of an A-team build, those Methods would be more fitting.

    3M has something that will draw the eye away from those interior accents.

    Ah the car salesman "that's easy to swap" !

    Then they disappear and forget all about that discussion.

    I had one try to tell me the parts department could just pop a sunroof in one time. No problem, easiest thing in the world. Just toss an aftermarket sunroof in a brand new truck.

    No. Fucking. Way.

    There was a thread here, a couple years back, where a sales guy told someone they could have 4WD added to their 2WD if they decided they wanted that feature in the future.

    Really strikes me as a Limited early 2000s T4R or Highlander with the wood trim. Gotta say though, the early 2010-2015 CRVs Touring Edition wood paneling in dark colour codes struck me as classier, looked like a stained and glossed walnut.

    Toyota interiors (especially the Camry) are some of the worst colors I've ever seen. They need to hire someone that has better design taste. I'm glad that my SR5 is mainly black and grey on the inside.

    Does it really matter? The panels will be covered in cigarette burns in no time. The fact that you are smoking in your brand new truck tells me the interior is going to trashed soon anyways so just drive it and accept that you fucked up.

    I think the panel colors are ugly & salesmen almost always distort the truth, but that does not equate to a new vehicle sucking, not even close.

    As others have said, the panels pop off easily and they make spray paint that would cover them. If you feel uncomfortable preforming this task, the local interior shop could remedy the panel color issue.

    Unsightly colored panels vs an open ashtray full of cigarettes, I’ll take the colored panels.

    PS, I’m a senior citizen also, not that it matters.
