That's a beauty. How did you make the TRD emblems? You sure pay attention to detail.

Thanks bro , as for the b-piller emblems I popped out the factory 4runner emblems and cut out a .5mm piece of carbon fiber and sank it in the same location that the 4runner emblems where and then placed the trd special edition emblems I got from the dealer and placed it on top of the carbon fiber piece looks clean , the trd emblem is. From the trd fj cruiser trd model. Thanks for noticing the small details !

Nice work, looking good. How did you get all of your interior plastic so clean? My interior is the gray color and its a bit faded/dirty/stained from things over the years. Did you paint it with some interior paint?

Thanks man, yeah I took every piece of plastic off and very lightly sanded it then scrubed with dish washing soap warm water, then wiped down with wax and grease remover then 3-4 coats of adhesive promotor , 3 min. In between coats , then waited 30 min. Then sprayed 3-4 coats of sem interior paint (satin black) with 10 min. In between coats and turned out solid the whole process took me a couple weeks with work and all but worth it.

I used sem paint products made for plastic ( interiors ) I also used spray adhesive promotor before the paint went on. It's about $15 a can I used around 8-9 cans.

Actually the funny thing is I had the upholstery shop put in electric seat warmers , cause my heater don't blow hot air to well. I have a hi/low button for each seat mounted on the shifter trim piece to control temp.
