    I just installed them this weekend too. The install was not as simple since the instructions were crap. If the instructions were clear, then it's literally a 30 minute job. I'll throw up some pics and a write-up in a bit.

    I thought the hardest part of the instructions were figuring out which side of the car was the left vs. right on the paper lol. After that it was a very easy install.

    I'm about 5 seconds away from ordering the kit myself... drove by the Toyota dealership today to check it out in person. Luckily they had a Prius Plus on the lot. I just wish it were more of a drastic change.

    Where did you get yours? ...if you don't mind me asking.

    PhrophetsofDoom, which CF vinyl wrap did you use for your interior dash ? I used some 3m's and they were bubbling and peeling off after 3-4 months.

    I use 3M 1080. I caught some bubbling on the wrapped fabric recently and was thinking about using some spray on upholstery glue to remedy the situation I've had the wrap in the interior for a few months now. With summer coming it might be time for the glue. I plan on keeping it wrapped forever so the glue does not scare me. If it ever gets messed up i'll just wrap it again.

    I agree with using the online TRD guide. I used it instead of the paper instructions it came with. I like the online TRD guide because it's very detailed and they show the install step-by-step with pictures!

    As for where I purchased the kit...online.
