I have these at the house too. They’re super high quality. Doing a little cleaning/restoration of the console while it’s all out and before I put these in. Great fit and extremely high quality.

Yeah, they are nice. I have a nice grey console lid that will get sprayed cordovan brown with these.
I think they'll look really good and add a lot of functionality for a daily driver
Looking good but the insert you put in backwards. Flip it around so the larger opening is out on the front so it can hold your phone.

I think they are appropriate black. Matches the switches
Agreed, and sliding cups in and out will likely wear down interior paint.

Ok. You guys sold me on leaving them raw plastic. One less thing to do.

So reversing the bolt wasn't an option unless I wanted to remove my new exhaust. Not really practical either whenever I needed to re-torque the suspension hardware.
I ended up grinding down the Dobinson nut that provides protection for the zerk. I got a 45 degree M8 x 1.0 thread pitch zerk fitting at Ace Hardware.
I had to remove the two new exhaust bushings and move the exhaust out of the way to have enough room to do this but now I can easily grease that zerk and torque the shackle pin hardware.
I didn't have "nice new exhaust", so just cut off the exhaust and will have the pipe welded back on. Nice work!

Sadly not many will ever have a nice new Toyota exhaust on their 60 as that part went NLA soon after I got mine.
By the time I put it on they were long gone.

Made a pass through jumper harness to pull feed the illumination circuit to a repurposed defrost switch. I used high quality connectors from @Coolerman
I got the switch a couple of years ago from @ToyotaMatt but never got around to installing it until now.
Oh the alignment pin on the switch needed to be filed down since there is not a corresponding notch on the dash.

It taps into the illumination circuit for the dash lights. It pulls off the dimmer dial switch and feed + & - for the newly added fog light switch

So I ordered a second set of tail light seals from @cityracer and these were mislabeled too.
Good thing I ordered the pair, I only needed the right as I misplaced the previously purchased right side seal/gasket.
Beware if you need a Left seal order a Right and vice versa.

Have you reached out to him about this?
In my experience he’s pretty spot on with making things right.

No need. It's not a big deal. If you buy a pair you get a pair. The bags are just mislabeled to the opposite side.

Ahh, misunderstood.
