How much $$$?

 

[barryhiram]

Very nice OP, will you be adding the leather wrapped wheel to match?

1. Little over $200 after 20% on AutoAnything.

2. No plans for leather wrap steering wheel for now because it is time consuming and requires st. wheel to be shipped. As for DIY project a haven't seen many done yet and sources are limited.

little to walmart looking to me. I used to have their wood kit on my 97 runner (was there when I bought it) and couldn't get it off fast enough. After time it starts to haze over and peel

Not true. I've same carbon fiber with polyurethane coat from Sherwood on my 2004 4runner for 10 years now and it looks the same as new.

um yes... it is true. Glad yours is intact but they definitely haze and peel... consider yourself lucky, could be cleaners etc that affect it but I usually dont use anything but a dry microfiber

I've never understood adding fake carbon fiber to anything. It always looks fake, and it always looks cheap. Not my thing but if it makes you happy then play on playa.

Carbon Fiber Wrap

A friend of mine did this on his Mini Cooper. It was so well done I thought it was standard equipment when I saw it. This could be a good fix for scratched plastic interior dash parts.

Definitely a way to overcome the cheap plastic from showing all of the scratches. Not really my taste but it's nice to have another option.

Who said it is Fake? You can get real wood trim or in my case Real carbon fiber. It is accent trim not unlike GX 470's wood trim and has nothing to do with practicality. It is an eye candy but CF is real as it gets (1 ply cloth CF overlaid with thick polyurethane).

No scratches on my but I agree way to much of cheap plastic on stock interior.

I bought my runner used over 2 years ago and it was the first (and only) flaw I noticed at the time of purchase.

Since then, it's unreal how many scratches I have.

Not exactly correct, only down time is how long it takes you to remove old wheel and install new :rockon:

Features:
•Steering wheel is an OEM factory wheel refinished with new material
•Center airbag and other control switches are transferred from your original steering wheel
•Core exchange – we ship you a finished replacement steering wheel from our stock and in return, you ship your original wheel back to us
•Available in real wood, carbon fiber, aluminum and more
•Steering wheels are on a "made to order" basis and are non-returnable
•Straightforward installation
•Backed by a lifetime warranty


Make sure that your hands are on the custom piece, as this is the only option you deserve! Custom steering wheel with matching custom dash kit would be a perfect customization touch for your interior. Please take a minute to get acquainted with core exchange policies.

Removal of your original wheel and installation of our finished replacement wheel generally takes no longer than 45 minutes. It is easy enough to do yourself, providing you have the proper tools and manufacturer supplied instructions for your specific vehicle. However, for your own peace of mind, you may just want to bring your wheel to a licensed mechanic to insure the wheel is properly installed. Original airbag, horn, and any other previously installed controls, are transferred from your original steering wheel.

Core Exchange Program
"Core Exchange" is the process when we ship you a finished replacement steering wheel from our stock and in return, you ship your original wheel back to us, for us to process for our next order. We take an original factory wheel and treat it with our leather and wood or sport finish and keep it in stock for the next client. You are charged a Security Deposit that is fully refunded, when we receive your factory wheel, no later than 20 Days after you receive your order. An authorized return number is provided to you after purchasing your steering wheel. Make sure to use a black marker to clearly write the return number on the outside of your return box, when you send back your original wheel. Remember, the airbag, horn, and other attachments are not included, and you will simply re-use your original ones.

I've had my eye on this kit with wheel for awhile, just can't make up my mind which one to go with...................

Any chance you could post a picture of the entire dash........please?

I'm bringing this up from the past. Picking up a 2010 Trail w/ some scratches on the plastic and looking for a quick fix. Loving the look of this real carbon fiber trim. Did you go with the small or large kit? How is it holding up a few years later? Thanks!
