    I don't speak Japanese but the girl in the video is adorable and she's very excited about the appliqués. I might be interested in the steering wheel one also if I can take the PlastiDip off of mine. Although I think I might like my matte finish better than the glossy one on the appliqué.

    I'd be interested in the steering wheel applique. Hopefully there will be some sort of knock off coming soon that wont break the bank.

    This may help?

    Google Translate

    It doesn't look like a good colour match to me, quite grey and definitely has the 'stuck on' look. I am glad I like the white (y)

    Thanks for the translation, but the red print seems to suggest it is not suitable for European standards. YMMV.

    It looks like these are starting to appear on ebay now, only found it by searching for XW50 (japan designation for prius)

    Car Steering Wheel Panel Garnish Cover Trim for Toyota Prius XW50 2015-2017

    I just bought one already to test for the cause, guess what probably is getting some orange carbon fiber vinyl on it? :)

    the ebay description cracks me up because it looks like they copy paste generic exterior install instructions, i'm sure i'm going to wash the inside of car after install :)

    Let us know what color you get. The listing seems to show green and black ones.

    Ah forgot to mention, I did mean add that one should specify what color if they order, I chose black, green would be too much and clash with my color scheme

    Not Yet, still on its way from China, has not reached US as far as I know, I am on west coast, so it should be relatively quick

    Wait, how did @keymusic end up with a white-trimmed steering wheel with a Two? I thought the Two and Two Eco had black plastic covers for the bottom of the steering wheel and shifter surround?

    I don't know but I wish mine had been black. All of the 2017 Twos I've seen have the white on the buttons and lower part of the steering wheel.

    Nope. Only matte black console. Still white around shifter and on the steering wheel.

    To both of you:


    So that's been changed for 2017?? The 2016s had a black bottom steering wheel like the one keymusic posted in the first post (That was from the Las Vegas reveal). Interesting....

    I only remember seeing non-white steering wheels in the Japanese covers you posted.

    The reveal used non-production cars.

    I did, though it took far longer than I thought it did to the point that the seller refunded me after I saw NO movement for over a month to the point where I ordered another. A few weeks after that, I finally got the first order....

    Looks good, just been a little lazy and haven't actually put it in, trying to decide on vinyl wrapping it carbon fiber black or orange :D

    part wise it seems similar to the toyota applique kit, has some 3m tape, I will post pics soon

    So you have, or will have 2 of them? Are they black? I might be interested in buying one from you. I'd like to see how it fits though and how glossy it is.

    It looks like, for some crazy reason, in 2017 only the Two Eco comes with the black steering wheel. 1, 2, and 3-5 and touring all come with white on the steering wheel.

    Last year, if I remember correctly, the higher end softex wheels got the white and the standard wheels got the black.

    Sorry for the delay, I actually ended up getting 2 of the third party applique's as the first one took so long (1.5+ months) that it was marked lost and I got it refunded and then it shows up 2 weeks later after I ordered another one!

    It works for me as I can give the extra to my MIL (sorry keymusic!)

    You all should know by now that orange is heavy theme in my car, but since I had two and I had some black carbon fiber vinyl, I did both and you can see how they look respectively.
