Find a good PDR (paintless dent removal) person in your area. I had similar ones on my 2012WRX, and the PDR guy was able to remove the dents and touch up the paint chips. The other option is to have traditional body work done, and they would have to blend the new paint to the existing paint...

I just bought a 2014 TEP/KDSS and had to do a factory order to get the options I wanted. Before I knew how Toyota VIP remote start worked, I ordered it on the build. In hindsight, I would have skipped the factory remote starter, and installed something with better range and features. Most...

This for a 2014 TEP. With the Toyota factory VIP alarm, in order to start you would have to hit lock twice fast, then hit lock again and hold for 3secs to start the car. This would leave the car locked. The moment you hit unlock, the car stops. It would be best to probably put an aftermarket...

That sounds like a bad deal. 60 month lease, total $34620, with a residual of $16000? So if you were to buy the car after the lease, the total price paid would be $50620? At those rates you are better to buy. Example: Finance $40851 - $4000down = $36851 $36851 x 60months @2.9% =...

2014 TEP w/KDSS, Facotry Remote Start, Roof Rack Rails, Cargo Cover, Exhaust Tip,Wheel Locks. MSRP $41894, $39K out the door, NJ.

I did it, because the 2012 Audi S4 that the wife drives has this function built in. I thought it was pretty nifty, so I wanted in the WRX. After it was installed, I ended up removing it shortly after. It never seemed to be integrated fully/properly. I would not look to do it again, unless...

When I had a 2012 WRX, I used the following product for this function: tappage3 It's the same flasher unit used in certain model year Prius. There is no listing for 5th Gen 4Runners.

Have not received the cable yet. Just ordered it when I posted. Once I get it, I will update as to what functions it can do.

Just bought the same cable on ebay. For those interested: Toyota Tis Techstream Mini VCI OBD2 Diagnostic Tool | eBay

The model number I bought is: 25053 The area of the shield that goes over the middle grill was molded to large it looks like. When mounted to the hood, the bulging part of the deflector interferes with the closing of the hood. There is little to no adjustment of the deflector forwards...

I saw pictures of it on 2014 Limited's, so I presumed it would fit the TE. No dice.

I orderd one of these, got it all mounted. It fir on the hood correctly, but then I could not close the hood. Looks like the they don't fit on the 2014 TE.

Who makes that bug deflector? Looks like it is applied directly to the hood edge, and not bolted to the underside.

Just thinking the same thing. I traded my 2012 WRX for the 4runner. Got mine in Nautical Blue, TEP. Had to get the hood scoop, so I would not miss my WRX.

You can adjust the drivers side light just by reaching up with a screwdriver. The passenger side is easier done, if you remove the 2 bottom bolts securing the passenger wheel liner, peel the liner back a little, then a screwdriver and your forearm will be able to reach the adjusting screw...
