Default Some interior updating

2004 RX330 needed some interior updating so did the following:
Atoto S8 Gen 2 steroe with rear camera - Amazon @ $300 with all the bits needed gave me bluetooth, nav, all phone and text functionality, uses my 64GB micro chip for additional music, also retained steering wheel controls
Black vinyl wrap center cubby - Amazon @$15 got lots left over
carbon shift **** - eBay @$15
new seat bottoms - eBay @$56 each perfect match though took lots of time and effort to install but look as good as new
new heated seat elements top and bottom - whole set on Amazon $52 for all 4 pieces

Your seat covers look great. Was your foam damaged? Mine are well work and sagging, wonder if I can get by with just a cover. Where did you get the dash trim that goes around your radio. I like your mods.

Thank you for the kind words. When I got the car a few months ago there was almost nothing left of the drivers seat leather so took a shot ordered them from eBay they are better than I had hoped. The foam below on bottoms was fine. reusable with little to no damage on the foam itself.

Stereo face kit is Metra - very common for most all cars aftermarket installs.

Nice work. Any link for the shift ****. It just screws on and off right?

Got mine here - https://www.ebay.com/itm/285161083855
But most every seller on eBay and Amazon seem to be the same -
Amazon Amazon

Yes it easily unscrews and the new one screws right back on, might suggest a little loctite when replacing but I didn't use any

That's looking good. Do you have a link for the seat bottoms?

On another note, does the silver/aluminum around the stereo and heater unit have a name? Looking to get a piece of vinyl to match that color.

got my seat bottom here -
https://www.ebay.com/itm/394828294146
warning though replacing them is a bit labor-intensive dealing with hog rings not for the faint of heart. In the end they matched perfectly and look great. my drivers side was completel shredded passenger had some minor tears too so really glad I replaced them

Negative on color matching, whatever color Metra used seems to match very well I beleive it is quite standard with many models across many mfg's though

Thanks. How's the quality of the seat bottoms?

I'll have to just order a few colors of vinyl and see what looks best.
