Let customers speak for us
I recently purchased two of these face plates from Chase and it exceeded my expectations. It completed the look of my dash and looks brand new. He is an excellent communicator and always responds and sends out packages promptly. Highly recommend him as a seller.
Perfect match. Great quality
Which decal is for my shift knob ? There’s two options on sizes and don’t know which one to buy
Night & day difference!...
For something like the inclinometer that's always right there in your face, this is definitely worth the upgrade!
Very pleased, highly recommend.
Better than oem. Good thing I saved the clips from my old ones
These are high quality seat covers that should wear as well as the originals. They closely match OEM upholstery. However, I would advise anyone who has no experience with re-upholstering auto seats to watch a YouTube video (6th gear garage) before purchase. You likely will encounter other issues with 40 year old seat frames and damaged foam cushions. It does require some basic skills, shop tools, other materials, and several hours labor to fix tired old seats. An excellent fit was achieved over original first gen 4Runner seats with 1 inch of added HD foam. I'm restoring a "very used" and tired old first gen 4Runner as a hobby project, so enjoyed doing the seat restoration myself, and saving lots of money.
I gave it a little test before painting and installing and dang, this thing is tough. I couldn't see this thing breaking ever again unless a bowling ball was dropped on it
This item, passenger side HVAC vent for 1984 Toyota pickup 4x4 looks as real and as identical to the OEM vents in the rest of the truck. I will definitely look into more purchases from this company. They had quick shipping and excellent customer service and support. I don’t usually write reviews but this place was a 100% pleasure to deal with regarding the order. When you look on eBay, the people there believe that 40+ year old Toyota are priceless. For a couple more dollars, I got a brand new replacement and fast shipping not to mention a well packed item.
It is excellent.
They are awesome
Total Chaos Heim Joint Tie Rod Steering Upgrade Kit
