shift column black out package?

It is likely the shifter part of this package. The Trim Two just needs the shifter applique.
2016 Prius Lower Console/Shifter Appliqué Package - OEM - PriusChat Shop

How much is the charge? I would not pay more than $50 for it based on an online search.

 

You can get it with the console applique for $300 at PC shop!
shifter applique only at Amazon for $58.10
console applique at amazon for $146.50

 

don't blame you, since it is a $50. piece as pp says above. then again, you have to weigh out the purchase in its entirety.

 

that's the whole set i think, which the two doesn't need?

 

Correct.The console on the Two is matte black.
If they blacked out the steering wheel, that would be different. I have not seen that in the US.

 

Perhaps if the OP sleeps on it for some time, he'll come to like the white trim as it grows on him. After all, is really good when night driving she the the warm white led in the overhead unit glows dimly on it you can see everything clearly yet not lose your night vision. It won't be as good with the black trim!

 

Except for the fact this "package" is already installed on a vehicle they are considering purchasing.
I would not expect the dealer to "remove" the package and sell the car for a lower price.

 

Hmm. I've looked back again and the dealer is trying to sell him a pack to cover the white bits, or am I going even more Doolally?

 

I guess that depends on the definition of Doolally.

 

I didn't even know it was an option. That's a nice feature.

 

I wonder if they'll nix the gloss white at the mid-gen update?? Probably not, too much loss of face?

This is maddeningly absurd: to foist a widely unpopular treatement on buyers, and then charge exorbitantly for a few makeshift plastic pieces to cover it up.

 

Widely unpopular in North America but it may be popular in Japan, where the car was designed.

 

Then there's chaps like me who like the washroom furnishings. Now if only I could find the faucets...

 

Oh yeah. Another thing, has anybody found the handle of button for the flush?

 

I'm not sure - quite a few people have had a glance inside mine ('tis the only 2016 PRIUS any of them had seen close up), and so far, they've all liked the white features, with comments like "brightens it up".

 

I love the white features - I have the black interior and white provides a nice pop. I think the black covers look cheap because it is very apparent they are covers and not built in things. No way would I pay $450 for those.
