I was searching the net and came across this picture (attached). I reckon it looks pretty nice, makes the entire dash console more dark. Thought it was carbon fibre at first but then i don't think it is.

On topic, I like the new look 05 sportivo console better then the 03-04 sportivo consoles. Has that pattern in it making it more "grey" then pure shiny silver.

Looks like it's got bubbles in it are you sure someone hasn't just used sticky (carbon look) vinyl crap that you use to cover books with and covered their console with it.

Nah it's not bubbles, it's just reflection of light that makes it seem like that from the photo :)

Nice look, not sure if it would be boring after a while, it does match the entrie interior better though.

I think the current Sportivo facia finish breaks up the dark interior a little.

Thats a dodgy install of those aftermarket modules though.

Maybe but........

I still recon it's just contact the hinges and stuff are still silver

Hmmm maybe, but it looks VERY shiny (especially down area the stick). It just looks a little too smooth for it to be contact IMO and i couldn't believe anyone could be farked using contact to do it. I found it a big enough pain in the **** having to do my books when i was at school!

Theres a place in Wooloongabba here in Brisbane that does that but I do not know the name of it (but I will find out).

What they have is a Carbon Fibre look 'sticker' type thing that peels off like the old stickers we used to use on our model cars we'd build as kids, where you leave it sit in a water solution then peel away the backing.

They are then left with this 'carbon fibre' look film on top of the water and then they lower whateever it is they want to coat into the solution.

Apparently they can do it to anything on any type of substance...

Will find out more info and keep you updated

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
