Helping a friend & Air Deflector Install

So I have a few updates on the 4runner. First of all i did fix the issues that i had before regarding the battery terminals and i also grounded down the ground point to bare metal to ensure proper connection.
Also a couple days ago i was able to help out my friend with his moms car. She was at a walgreens and tried to come home but her car wouldn't start even with a jump. ( it was a bad starter which we fixed today) so i towed her accord back to his house.

Also i finally got one of these.
just got the air deflector photo 20130514_171632_zps442e62a1.jpg
I have wanted to have one ever since i had the truck and i finally installed it. here is how i did it for those who would like to know.
I taped the area off with painters tape approximately where i thought the brackets would go. And then i assembled the air deflector and held it in place about where it would go using a bungee cord. i then traced the edges of the brackets with sharpie. then i took off one of the brackets and placed it where i had traced it before. then i marked the holes, removed the brackets, and drilled em through. After i had done both sides i installed the brackets using stainless steel sheet metal screws and painted and reinstalled the air deflector.
ill let the pics do some talking

which marks the start of the "limited" conversion that i would like to complete. this includes all wood grain trim pieces like the instrument cluster bezel. center console. shifter trim, door switches and leather door inserts and arm rests and leather seats ( possibly power seats? preferably not)
