That interior is very very nice... way to sport it up!

I am assuming the airbag on the TRD wheel is single stage?

I am looking on ebay now.. wow around 1K for this!@!

Yeah, it's a single stage. Be careful on the eBay ones though. I got mine off eBay but I've seen a few that don't include the complete airbag with the ignitor piece. Make sure it has the yellow plug/harness on the back of the airbag if you get one.

did you install the suede on the roof yourself? or did you buy the car like that?

Did you remove the parts, glue and re-wrap?

Yup, I did the drivers A-pillar first to test the waters. It wasn't that bad so I went for it. I used 3M spray glue and wrapped over the factory fabric. I painted all the plastic pieces and sharpied the oh-$#!+ handles. The visors were the hardest part so I hired my mother-in-law to sew them up. She does some crazy quilting so I figured visors would be like a vacation for her.

I do 99% of the work on my cars myself. So, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

IIRC, they have real wood.
