Interior Wrap Update

wow, gorgeous! well done

 

That ROCKS.. Nice job..

 

Very nice. Id love to do the same in my Prime. Only down fall is the sterring wheel still has the ugly white plastic and white buttons.

 

Great job. Looks so much better. Did you apply the wrap in place or did you remove the piece first? I want to do similar thing on mine, mostly on the piano black dash but to do that in-place, I am afraid it would be too tedious and difficult for me.

 

I was also going to ask about if he did it in place. Looks fantastic, @JayGen4!!!

I didn't think the lower, right side of the dash was hard to do in place, but it would for sure be easier on a work bench. I used matte black, which looks fine, but that brushed metal is terrific.

 

Very nice!! So much better. Glad mine doesn’t have the white.


iPhone ?

 

I don't mind the white. At least it doesn't blind you like the glare from the glossy black.

 

And it is so much easier to keep clean and dust free...

 

OEM or OER replacements are available in different colors, as they make them for other Toyota models with the same steering wheel.

 

I haven’t had too much glare on that part. I only get it on the touchscreen/dash and the emblem on the steering wheel.


iPhone ?

 

The glare from the panel above the glove box wasn't all that bad for me (still very annoying, though), but it was a major headache trigger for my wife over in the front passenger seat. As for the glare from the 11.6" display, that's like having someone welding in front of you when the sun comes in through the right rear widow. Unbelievable!!

 

I'd go to search "LKQ steering wheel" on eBay and buy the whole steering wheel. Get the parts that you need off of it. Make sure that it works and resell the old switch on the steering wheel on eBay. That way, cost will be a minimum.

Steering wheels for late models are not in much demand as even with the airbag deployed, the switches are still intact and functional.

 

I don't own a Gen 4, but I was able to get a really durable long lasting finish on my Prius v switch panel from my husband's friend, who stripped it to the bare plastic and repainted it with an airbrush.
