    Hello. I want to paint all of my brushed and wood grain trim pieces or wrap them. And I don’t want the layover carbon fiber. If you have any idea about removal of anything with these pieces please let me know on here. Or message my Instagram @4runnerx4

    The door handle is molded to the panel, the radio bezel is one piece with the radio... I'm sure there is a way to separate it, but I couldn't find it. I was able to wrap the radio with a bunch of trial and error.

    Hey thanks for replying. I might just get the layover pieces for what I can’t get and then paint those I guess. What do you know about that wood grain piece above glove box. Any idea on that? Thx

    There was a write up on the other forum. Not as simple as one would think, but not terrible. I will look for the link, think i saved it.

    BTW. If i was to do it again (looking at you steering wheel controls)or do the door handles, i would get the layover set and paint or wrap it. Would be faster then pulling everything apart. I have the ones to de-chrome the "door opener" handles and it works fine. Of course the kit came out after i already did mine.
