I'm using a Trd shift **** currently. I'm looking at other options though. Had that one for awhile and it's time to upgrade

I actually got lucky with the interior and bought it like that from a friend who was parting out his 1is. It included front and rear seats and all 4 door panels

both cars are sweet,,, like the 250 better. the back of the 250 looks like it's missing something.
