    What a difference! Easy install and looks awesome. I used a dremmel with a small carbide cutting head to grind the plastic rivet heads off.

    These pieces are glued in with epoxy? Is that per instructions? I just ordered these and thought they attached with bolts as the AJT pieces did.

    You really only need to glue the shifter trim. Everything else clips in. Did this kit today as well. 609E4EB5-9CBC-414E-A0CB-A3166A1EE4BC.jpg

    Looks good.
    Wonder why no one will make a blackout kit without weird cut outs, bolts, strange patterns that don’t match Anything else in the truck.

    Would really like just a plain black out kit.

    Don’t need anymore hiding places for dust, dirt and grime.

    IMO these look much better than the fake bolt style but I feel you, I like a stock look. I may pull the stereo trim pillars and chrome and take it to my cerakote guy. I think you can cerakote plastic?

    All stock-ish. Powdercoated blue suspension.
    Just got mines installed today also. I too added a bit of dab of plastic epoxy just for some added sense of security and stay, plus I will not be swapping it back out or selling the truck anyways.

    I did the EXACT same
    $68 HIGH FLYING for Toyota Tundra 2014-2021 Car Accessories Center Console Gear Shift Box Water Cup Panel Cover ABS Blacking Out 1pc LHD (Not fit 1794 Edition)
    Amazon Gear Shift Box Panel cover along with the ATJ shift gate trim like you have in the pic. I am well pleased and it was super easy (NO DRILLING) Plus, I can go back to the OEM at any time by removing the cover.

    I also like not having any extra nook's and cranny's that attract dust and dirt on the center console.

    AJT does make some nice chrome delete products though. (Vent Rings, Climate knob trim) I just did not like that I had to drill out the plastic welds to get his cover to work around the cup holders.

    Since I do not have a Start button, I went with the Meso 4X4 ring vs the AJT solution.

    @Njmike13 did you have to remove the whole center console part to get the originals out and put meso in? Just got mine today!

    I did but it very easy to remove. Watch the 1st 5 min of this video for reference https://youtu.be/oBGQcwEsslg

    Also use a dremmel to sand off the welds so it leaves the post intact. I used some jb weld plastic bond on the shift gate.
