Hey everyone,
i installed heated seats in my 07 Sport. Everything went well and works great with my Wet Okoles. However i don't like how the switches looks in the factory spaces.
Wondering if anyone had any thoughts on making it more aesthetically pleasing.
I use a newer style OEM USB port in those spaces and I used a blank and sliced off the end and glued it to the tip of the USB port to make a filler. It actually looks pretty good. I’ll see if I can add a pic later. Although I feel like your switches are more square.
I'd just move the DAC into the center spot and the heater switches on either side. I don't know how much it will help in your situation because I don't know that this hugs the corners of the switches enough to hide it better but just throw a switch guard over it to make it look factory. Personally I'd spring for the steel version, I think it looks cleaner.

I may do this along with the overlay. i know i had some blank covers some where.

Link to the steel version? Didn't see it on their site, just various colors of plastic.
Yup, first day back at the office got me, I didn't scroll down further on that menu after seeing all of the plastic options.
Yeah, it's a bit pricey and unless there were other metal pieces in the interior it might just look out of place. I think if you bought the black and then sanded it a bit smoother to get rid of the 3d printing marks it might look better?

that was my plan. i ordered the black plastic. figure i would sand and apply a coating of paint and see how it goes. otherwise i need to find my blanks and somehow modify them to fit the switches I have now and see how that goes.
I'd look at using some filler primer then wet sand it down nicely and then paint + clear coat. You can likely get it to look like the renderings he posts with just some manual labor and sanding.
I'll be ordering one of these when my 4Runner lands in the driveway. I wonder if he has the ability to make little ones for heated seat switches or one big wide one to cover all of them.

I emailed him this morning to see if he can 3D covers for the switches that I currently have. he makes them for the round switches so that they will fit in the original spot. i will let you know what he says and how much.

You could download it and close off the holes in the position of your switches using Shetchup, Meshmixer, OpenSCAD, or one of the online 3d modeling apps.

Thanks - i will talk to a few friends who have more experience and access to the proper tools to get this done.
