They are sweet looking. Is the TRD just a decal or was it a part of the gauges? I already looked at gauges on ebay...nada...anyone know where to get these guages from?

Its those, with a TRD sticker.

THey used to sell them on ebay with a TRD sticker, but it was not official TRD. In fact, almost nothing on that car is official TRD...just a whole lot of stickers.

I think Fenix has those gauges though. Two things to note,

1) These are glow gauges, not reverse glow. I prefer the reverse, but which one you like are up to you.

2) Due to the cutout design, you'll have the problem with BRAKE showing as RAKE, etc.

(its not going to be a thick decal..more so like a sticker??). could this is prob the direction i might wanna go...that and the bezel look great

Any thin sticker should have no problem. Theres at least a few mm between the gauge face and the actual needle.

It is initial K gauge that was out about 2000-2001. They are out of business i think, The TRD is not sticker and it actually glow in red in the night. I had one of this gauge on my solara before, but it die.
