3M black brushed aluminum

[BlackCat]

Got the idea from one of the guys on ClubLexus. I figured for $30 and some time, if I didn't like it I could peel it off. Still have some dash trim and the door panels to do, but I really like it. I also ordered a black piano wood steering wheel to go with it.

What do you mean ordered black piano steering wheel? Like an entire factory steering wheel or a cover?

 

[Scat Adams]

Looks good so far, interested in that steering wheel as well.

It's an entire steering wheel, they look amazing. Very popular on the 4Runner forums. I wasn't sure how well it would fit a GX, but if it does then I may look into going that route as all the leather on mine is worn pretty bad.

This is RCsGX on Club Lexus. He's got a really beautiful truck. They say imitation is the best form of flattery, right?

nice, so where did you get the trim pieces

 

[BlackCat]

Trim pieces? It's all the factory wood grain that's now wrapped.

Where did you order the steering wheel?

Damn those look great

Wow $250 for the steering wheel could get me some pretty nice gear. I do Like it though

Looks real nice BlackCat.

Looks real nice BlackCat.

Thanks!

Considering a black burl wood sport wheel is $1,500 from Lexus, I thought $250 was reasonable.

I dig it ... I covet the black sport trim

 

[brodon]

That looks good but i must say i really like the factory woodgrain. One of the main reasons i dont like the sport package is the center console just doesnt look as nice to me. If there was a version with the black wood grain for the center though...

Looks good for your application but I am with @brodon ... I had an FJ and felt it was too toyish and am liking the comforting luxury feel of the woodgrain. But it does look factory and think you did a really good job. Looks professionally done!

@BlackCat : How difficult is the application? I am on the wood hater side and would love to do something like this, I am just a bit afraid that it wouldn't turn out that great if I did it myself.... lol What's the application process like? Does it require a bunch of heating and moulding/forming?

It's time consuming, but pretty easy. You don't need a heat gun or anything, it's pretty forgiving. Obviously corners and weird angles are a bit tricky, but totally manageable.

Just came across this thread...a bit of helpful info in there too. Turns out @RCsGX is also a 'Mud member and had a thread here on this here as well. Any 'Wrap/Cover' their wood interior int their GX?
