#153 of 162 Body side moldings, after purchase by tedtnj May 15, 2007 (6:12 pm)
We didn't order the Toyota Avalon with body side moldings. But now we want to add the moldings   How easy is it to install the moldings, or do you suggest I use a dealer service department. Yes, a special 3-M cleaner is recommended before applying the molding.   I've seen the cost via the Internet about $30 less than the dealer for parts alone.   Installation locally is about $100.

#154 of 162 Rear bumper cover by hawiianavowner Jun 04, 2007 (11:10 pm)
Has anyone removed/replaced the rear bumper cover on the 2000-2004 series? I'm wondering if it is all screws, all fasteners or a mix. I am going to change mine, but don't have any spare fasteners if one breaks.
#155 of 162 3M film (clearmask, clearbra) by hawiianavowner Jun 04, 2007 (11:14 pm)
Anyone have suggestions to remove old 3M film quickly? I left it on for almost 7 yrs now, and it has cracked into tiny pieces. They will still peel off w/out residue, but you have to start anew at each piece-this could take weeks. Tried a hair dryer but was afraid of damaging paint.

Replying to: hawiianavowner (Jun 04, 2007 11:14 pm) Have found 3M site where they recommend 150 degree temp with heat gun or hair dryer...also leaving in sun 1-2 hours first. Will try on a sunny weekend.

Replying to: tedtnj (May 15, 2007 6:12 pm) I purchased moldings for $120 (including shipping) and installed them in 20 minutes. Rubbing alcohol (75%) works fine to clean the surface. Installation instructions are included in the package. Very simple! Replies to this message: obafunque1 (Nov 23, 2008 9:58 am) fin (Nov 23, 2008 4:33 pm)
#158 of 162 Body Side Molding by wadesters Jun 23, 2007 (6:47 pm)
I have just purchased a 2006 Avalon Limited. I think I want to add the body side molding. I cannot seem to find a picture of an Avalon with it installed. Does anyone have a picture of the molding installed? If so please send to: wadestersbellsouth.net Or if near Atlanta I would love to see it. Thank you...

Replying to: ves (Jun 11, 2007 11:44 am) I have a 2006 XLS Avalon and also would like to install the body side moldings. Where to buy from? Price I should expect to pay? Please, let me know and thanks in advance for your help. Obafunque1 Replies to this message: fin (Nov 23, 2008 4:33 pm)

Replying to: obafunque1 (Nov 23, 2008 9:58 am) Any Toyota dealer should be able to get the moldings in your body color and install them for $200. or less. Check the color match before installation. Your paint color may be slightly different from when new so make sure the color match is satisfactory. I have had them on my '07 Limited since new... Enjoy your Avalon...
#162 of 162 2008 Avalon front grill removal by pasqvinc Dec 26, 2008 (12:05 pm)
I am considering putting a SS billet grill on my 2008 Avalon. For you mechanics out there, would appreciate knowing how difficult or easy it is to remove the front grill (upper chrome piece and lower plastic piece). Is any cutting or removal of major components involved or is it basically a unscrew/unbolt and replace procedure. Thanks for the help.
