    No it's an OEM part. I'd recommend that over paint because it's a piece that's touched and has stuff rubbing on it all the time and it'll just end up janky.

    Red tinted lexan/plastic and 3M double sided tape rated for outdoor use. Don't go cheep on the 3M tape. There is a lot of crappy products in that market and all kinds of different application ratings.

    We did something similar for our SEMA displays last fall.

    I would get red plastic to cut up then use a 3M adhesive to stick it on the back side. Just make sure to clean the surface really good so the adhesive really holds.

    It's the Alpine ILX-107, the main reason i wanted it was for the wireless Apple carplay.

    Automatic Shifter Bezel 58805-AD010 (this is for the normal bezel so you'll have to clarify the color when you order).

    I got mine from @gunny1005 who at one time worked at a Toyota dealership and sold folks parts on TW. Not sure if he still does that or not but I suppose you can message him.

    Noticed you had an 08 so make sure this is the right part for your year. I'm not familiar with the interiors of all the second gens.

    Ha it is a nice easy swap, I felt the same way you did. Wasn't sure if it would look decent or feel cheap. For $200 it does feel surprisingly nice.

    Nice photos, Nice Truck. Of all the configurations of trucks, Toyota or others, the Tacoma Access Cab looks more at home Off-Road than any other, this of course is just my opinion. (I wonder if that is because I own one)

    No, nothing wrong with them. I haven’t done anything to them since install. The only thing I did at install was spray paint the bolts black so they didn’t stick out like a sore thumb.
