every blue interior piece that i have bought so far came to me as shadow gray so i have given up on ordering blue interior parts. I am so careful around the interior of my car so i dont break anything because it will be impossible to replace :)

I'm big on using the dealer now after dealing with inferior parts or just the WRONG part.

Good example, can't get an O2 sensor from a parts store. Ordered one online, it's going out less than 6 months of use later. I'm going OEM this time.

Or how about a fan clutch? There are 2 different part numbers, one for N/A and one for Turbo. Parts store has one for both. Says Made in the USA and although it WOULD bolt in and possibly work, it's about half the size...

$100 more from the dealer, but the last one lasted over 150k miles...

im went to toyota for brand new molding and weather stripping all around the car and it totals around 1600.00. i know a guy who can give me 30% off so it comes down to about 1000. not too bad for new oem.

I work for a Toyota dealer I could probably get you the steering wheel for somewhere around $700.... still alot but better than 900. I'd be happy to help anyone on here get OEM stuff for cheap. Just let me know what you need.

Doesn't your parts guy tell you he's going to be getting grey before he orders it in for you? LOL.

You still have the part numbers for those parts? How about some pictures? Lol.
