Looks great! I ordered the center console organizer and glove box one as well. Glad to see they fit well. How was it putting in the hood struts?

Pardon my ignorance, is STEK a certain brand or type of wrap? If I ever acquire a PRO I had the same protection plan, but have never done it.

Yes and no on the center console organizer. The dividers are a bit longer so the tray doesn't sit flushed with it on the bottom. I would need dremel it about half an inch on the dividers.

For the glove box organize, highly recommended to use 3m double sided tape on the left and right corner to hold it in place.

As for the hood struts, it was super easy. Probably a 2 out of 10 diffculty. Just make sure when you tighten down the bolts on the hood, do it very slowly so the bracket doesnt shift over.

Here is the link for the center console organize and please look at my above comment on it.

STEK is certain brand of PPF and it is a highly regarded brand. It's competitor is Expel but unlike Expel, STEK have better quality, clarity, self healing when it comes to sratches/swirl marks, 10 years warranty, and ceramic coating on top of it's film.

Biased, but 6th Gen > all day, every day of the week.

A common opinion from 5th Gen owners is that the 6th Gen looks awkward — the rear end looks pinched, the front end looks Tacoma-ish, and they feel it tried too hard and failed.


Agree to disagree!

It’s a fresh change. Looks great
