The kits from Japan don't fit. First, their center bezel is made up of two pieces (ours is 1 piece + plus the compartment) Secondly, their speedometer is reveresed since their steering wheel is on the other side. I already ordered a kit and unfortunately, learned the hard way.

I painted my speedometer housing. :D

Are you referring to this kit?



The only pieces that fit are the A/C vent trim and the speedometer trim. The bezel trim does not fit. (BTW.. I got this from newscionparts.com aka Carson Toyota)

The kit is just trim only.

I see someone has been using their special dealer manual to cause some serious modding! What else can we expect from ya m@? anything else special coming up? It looks so clean too, was it hard at all reamoving the gauge from the housing?

Hey Gabe! Not too hard to remove... it's just 7 claws, 2 clips, and 1 screw. Interior door panels and pillars are next.
