I don't have wood trim, it's just gloss black metallic (new for 2011). Last year it would have been the silver trim on the same model. Not a fan of the black personally. It looks okay, but it gets dusty so quickly. I'd rather have silver.

I swear that I have barely touched the gloss black trim and it already has swirls and scratch marks! Im gonna wait till spring and wrap CF wrap it. I really do like the black though, my previous car was a bimmer and it reminds me of the much sought after "piano black" that was hard to get.

Once I get my original 17's back on the car will look so much better.

They look okay on a RAV4. Beyond that, they're just cheap winter wheels, heh. Not worried about damaging the finish or scratching them, etc.

As for the bluetooth, not easily. You could maybe try a Toyota Blu-Logic kit and see if it works, or some other aftermarket bluetooth system. The factory one is quite involved, and I don't think it would be easily installed after the fact.

Jeff, nice ride!

You've been around on Toyotanation for a while! Congrats on the new purchase.



@Jmags - Bluetooth started coming standard on all ISs for the 2010MY.

I am thinking of tackling the BluLogic install in my '09. If and when I do, I'll let everyone know.

Yeah, got the IS250 to replace the XRS. It's been fun. Still restoring my AE86 and working on Supras on and off. I'm everywhere, lol.

I really like the seats and the black trim, but I can see how it could get dirty rather quickly. Best of luck with the new car.

I've received nothing but compliments from people who have sat in them about the material and the way they look. When I first sat in them I fell in love. I'm so gripped into them, no sliding whatsoever.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate the kind words. More pics to come as I do some things to the car.
