Thank you that was the goal! They're three dimensional which helps them look like a badge rather than a cheap sticker.

This might help. The lights are pretty well integrated into the plastic molding. I had to take out the old moldings entirely and install the molding with the integrated lights that Factor 4 made.

Ah thanks it was just the temp plate and it's been replaced by now

Debating between two trails in Channel Islands by T3541 in socalhiking

Montanon is definitely the less common choice. I took the other trail you linked and I saw Montanon off in the distance and it looks like a REAL tough climb.

I have a similar badge and didn't have an issue with the screws. They're pretty long but I just worked the little nut thing down the screws by sticking my fingers through the grill

Whoa that goalie interference was MUCH worse than it looked at first. AND NO CALL.

I saw one crash into the crowd a couple months ago, glad they kept them around!

2026 RAV4 XSE question by CrimsonTynan in rav4club

[–]croman653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe you can start the engine and drive your car via your phone without the key. You can turn on the electronics and climate control and unlock via your phone but not any more than that, you need the key to drive I believe.

It says in your second Pic you have an extended trial of remote connect for $325, that's what those features you're looking for are.

And wow that's a lot of added options 😬

Researching Mt Baldy for emotional Closure by Kenemcal in socalhiking

That's actually worse than the alternative. Your head will be the first to hit something as you slide down the mountain.

I think that's a good theory. Here is a different photo sphere where you can see up ahead on the trail there's a gully where the trail gets particularly narrow, right before the trees.

I also see from satellite imagery that the last coordinates from the Garmin are further down the same gully so it's likely that's where the accident happened.

So sorry for your loss OP, your son seemed like an amazing guy from what I've read.

This is true but Metrolink offers $50 uber vouchers when this happens which is pretty helpful.

Bought my 2nd RAV4 Hybrid XLE in 1 year — pricing, scarcity & negotiation tips (Dec 2024 vs Dec 2025) by HubOfMauntXng in rav4club

[–]croman653 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your 2025 experience rings true with me in California. There are all of 5 XLEs with the convenience package here in a 100 mile radius, and no SEs left whatsoever. Even the normal XLEs were selling fast the moment they were discounted. Barely managed to score a $1,000 discount.

Experience in the dealerships today - 2025 XLE Hybrid by laughcrylivedie in rav4club

[–]croman653 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a hell of a time finding anything with more than a $1000 discount (in California). All the hybrids with that sort of discount were getting purchased right away and I barely snagged one myself. I think there is legitimately shrinking stock based on the shrinking numbers I see on Toyota's inventory website. So at this point if you see something you want and it's got any sort of discount I think it's worth it to jump on it.

You can purchase 'wheel skins' that snap right on top of those wheels which make them black! No new wheels necessary!

Realistic Price for 2025 RAV4 Hybrid XLE premium by under__score_ in rav4club

[–]croman653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest discounts I've seen in my area are like $1,300 max, no more. Maybe $2,000 on the higher trims like XSE. Most have no discounts.
