I agree as well. That seller has a fairly high approval rating, but it looks like most of those are from the selling of leds/bulbs, so I'm skeptical....but the pictures don't look too bad.

Yeah... Price seems pretty steep, but it's a console replacement which means less DIY, so I'm guessing that's where the price comes in?

It's expensive because the console parts are already expensive.

I think a whole set of OEM pieces(wood w/ventilated seats) cost about $800.00~ Thats just from looking at carson toyota's OEM catalog and checking individual pieces. But the plastic Metallic pieces cost 500 from sewell.

Not sure what plastic metallic pieces you're referring to, unless you're talking about those triangle shaped pieces that go on the sides of the center console. If so, they aren't included in Sewell's $1300 price.

So, Sewell is charging $500 to Neffy wrap oem pieces... wow. Hopefully no one gets raped buying that.

Here's a piece of news for all who think the interior pieces are cheap. MSRP on the wood trimmed console (JUST the console) is $2,018.58. I thought I would like the wood trim better than the F's silver CF, but when I priced out buying the wood trim pieces it was ridiculously expensive.

Im wrapping my wood trim with neffy wrap in a few days. I think it will look a lot better than any overlay and it's a lot cheaper. I'll post some pics when I'm done.
