This skid plate is pretty well designed and looks good on my truck. I was able to install it by myself with minimal difficulty. One thing to keep in mind is that the front bolts get inserted with a washer first. The aluminum stand off and clear plastic washer goes on the back side and fits into an opening under the radiator support.
Probably the cheapest way to go if you want to replace your silver valances. These are flat black, not the semi-gloss like the OEM Toyota. The build quality is just so-so. Some of the tabs that hold it in place are just a little off, which can make installing a bit of a hassle. It took a lot of muscling to get every tab to fit into the bumper slots and then to reinstall the retaining clips.
Installed these on my 2023 RAV4. The shipping was fast and packaged well. The quality was good including solid plastic and metal. Good quality 3M tape included as well. They included adhesion patches to help during install too.
It's solid and looks great, overall a good product. There was an issue with the skid plate I received, where the front holes were misaligned; but nothing a little Dremel adjustment couldn't cure.
Similar to other reviewers, I think the hardest part of this install was getting the cable up through the rubber tubes (connecting the upper trunk area to the trunk door). I used thin copper wire, taping it to the white/red tip and pulled through with ease. I also removed more of the trim than the video did, allowing me to skip most of the fishing. You'll need a trim removal tool (I used a flat head gently and it worked fine). There will be excess of one of the wires (the one that splits to the lights), just zip tie and tuck. This took much less time than expected and work great
The videos offered on this page are pretty helpful overall. A couple recommendations to support videos:
Install and attach the bottom anchor and bottom rod nipple first, allowing top nipple to move. Then, attach top nipple to anchor.
On the top anchor, I had to use the second hole in order for hood to fully close AND for the rods to clear the insullation foam strip.
I think a 4 rating is appropriate, as a 4-hole top anchor to match the predrilled hood holes would be more structurally sound. But, other than that, this still feels solid and does work.
These lights look good (I got the smoked ones)and were easy to install, specially with the many videos found online. My only complaint is they aren't very bright. A stronger LED would have made this an ideal addition to my Rav4.
Potentially smaller than stock. Might be for a different model, but it is the same font, and it's a nice addition if you're trying to get rid of all of the chrome.
I have had my '18 TRD Pro since new. Wanted Android Auto badly. Now I have it, and the choice to switch between Toyota and Android. It works very well. And I had a front camera laying around and it connected right up to the Cartrim unit so I also have a front camera now. Too cool. Very happy with my purchase.
Very nice to add these features as a plug and play accessory. However my only disappointment with this product is that there is no equalizer provided to adjust the audio.
One question, I have this mod and the mod for the lighted switches, they both work, but I noticed that these door handle lights come on with the car coming on, but the switches lights come on with the headlights, is this correct? OR did I wire it wrong? Thanks
I got these lights from Carhometrim several months ago and they
have worked perfect. The installation was found on Youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdpHV4Qio7c&t=556s and the install was clearly detailed and very easy. Thank you for a great
product!
Easy to install. I trimmed the plastic away from some areas, like the "E" in XLE and the inside of the "R" and "4" in RAV4, to make it look more like the original. One of the AWD emblems didn't fully cover the chrome emblem. Overall, it is OK, but don't expect it to look like an OEM, or even a good Plasti-Dip job.
Works really well! Note that if you are also installing the interior door handle lights which connect to the same harness, the connector cable that comes with this switch MUST connect directly to the switch. If you plug in the handle light harness in line after the switch harness then the switch will not illuminate! Don't ask me how I know! :)
Work perfectly. A word of caution, if you are installing these with the lighted power window switches, these must go on the cable in the door, and then the power window cable connects to the window switch. If you do it backwards, the power window switches will not light up!!
Following the tutorials on Youtube (Morozov Automotive), the entire installation took no more than 5 minutes. The result was amazing. The fit is perfect, the charging is very useful, and the additional ports are extremely convenient. Rav 4 XLE 2023
