Mabett · Saturday at 7:18 AM

Hey everyone, Jeremy here :handsinair:

. We’ve been busy getting a few new Tacoma products ready, and I finally have a couple to show you.

An early look at two new interior pieces coming to the 4th Gen Tacoma:

Pair of side air vent trims
Center console grab handle cover

Both are made from 100% real carbon fiber, adding a subtle upgrade to the interior.

What do you guys think of how they look installed?

Drop your thoughts below— We’ll choose a few forum members to try them out when they launch soon.

Carbon fiber for looks is tacky IMO. 17 year old me with a two tone lowered civic hatch might like it.

Pass, I am a hot hatch gal but don’t even like carbon on those cars.

Tacoma is a “cheap” vehicle. Stick on carbon is not a good look on any inexpensive vehicle. I had real from the factory cf on an Audi R8. 10k upgrade on the window sticker and looked appropriate for the car. .

The ‘90s called. They want their trend back.

Is the carbon fiber in the Pro’s dash real or just a pattern?

I’ve already got the plastic fake carbon fiber in my truck. Yours looks much better and it’s real carbon fiber. I especially like the grab handle carbon fiber. I haven’t seen anything like that yet.

Pass. Carbon fiber aligns more to something like a F150 Super Snake.

The Tacoma is function-oriented. Bits that offer improved field endurance, hauling, towing or climb/crawl capability are welcome. Interior carbon fiber accessories? To most, items like that are not going to be on their wish list.

Carbon fiber pieces for a Tacoma, most trucks in-general, are a solution in search of a problem. YMMV.

Who still buys carbon fiber overlays ? Be it real or fake.

It's not my style. Not gonna hate on it or anything, the vent covers actually do look decent and I like that its actually carbon fiber and not a sticker or some other such nonsense. A point of contention tho, the grab handle on throws me off. Just because it doesn't look as clean and frankly a bit cheap. Which I think is mostly due to the overall shape. Plus it makes the grab handle itself slick and smooth removing its functionality. The purpose is that it gives the passenger a place to put their left hand, while the right grabs the door over rough terrain like utvs have.

I assume the shape is to eliminate the "floating" look it would have as the handle is textured and it wouldn't sit flat over it. So, it would be better if it were a textured rubber with a carbon fiber inlay that runs down the center. Something like a 3/4" strip with rounded ends but with the rubber on the sides and just protruding on the top around it. Maintain functionality and "rugged" look and a bit of carbon for style so to speak.

Yeah, ( not! ) more PLASTIC to put on top of the Factory Gold plated PLASTIC crap that already exists Really!
I'd like to know what Companies are thinking?
How about building functional
upgrades that complement the offroad capabilities like more rear Overland bumpers, spare fuel tanks, twin turbo upgrade

tranny coolers.
And, yeah I know there are manufacturers out there making these products, but IMHO we need more options like these.

You have to keep those factories in China busy making cheap bits or the economy will crash…

PNW_Taco_Trail · 2026-06-14T19:28:01-0700

any other options?
