Hello everyone,

I have an 06 gx 470 and i was thinking about replacing my Golden Birds-eye maple trim with the Black birds-eye trim.

any idea where i can find this trim excluding the dealer ??


Thank you

You can check eBay, but it's going to be expensive, and you'll never know if you'll get a piece with a scratch, scuff, etc. I used 3M brushed aluminum wrap on my interior and love it.

wow! That does look awesome! Is that the original steering wheel but wrapped as well? Mine has the maple brown wood trim.

No, it's a black piano Prado 120 wheel. I did buy a sport shift **** because I had a hard time wrapping it. The **** was $80 used to give you an idea on how much it would cost to replace everything with factory stuff.

How much did you pay for the steering wheel and where did you find it ?

Was the wrapping process difficult ?

Thanks again for all your input

johne27

Did the steering wheel come with the air bag or did you use your own ?

BlackCat81

Steering wheel was ~$250 from eBay. Airbag swaps right over to this wheel. The wrap was bought on Amazon.

sorry for being a pain in the butt! but i would really like to copy exactly what you did, i think it looks amazing!

is this the wrap you used ?

how easy is it to remove the trim ?
put on the wrap ?
and then reinstall?

Ya, that's the stuff. Trim is super easy to remove. Wrapping can be a pit tedious in spots and it kind of sucks pulling the center dash vents out of the trim to wrap them, but with some patience and time it can be done.

Just a little tip when pulling trim and anything else that "snaps" into place. Make sure the parts are nice and warm. It provides for some flex and helps prevent any plastic clips or tabs from snapping off.

Ok great!
Thanks again!

I did mine in the middle of winter, lol. But yes, that's good advice.
