Fits as intended. Took spray paint well.
Notes:
Handle is not reinforced (neither is it on the original). Apparently there are some out there with metal reinforced handles to try to solve this design flaw. Hopefully it will last another 100k miles before failing again. Especially if I'm more gentle in icy cold weather.
The dummy lock button bracket cannot substitute for the original lock button bracket. I.e., you can't detach the original button from the original bracket and use it on the dummy bracket. Your choices are: original button + bracket or dummy button + bracket. (In my case the original bracket's screws corroded and fused to the bracket, so even though I could detach the button, there was no way to secure it to the new garnish (the button needs the bracket to push back against, otherwise you just push it into the garnish and it gets lost). I left the original inside/hidden, with the dummy button/bracket in place, and will just use my fob to lock the car from now on. Not a hardship.
Comes with the screws you need to attach it, but don't lose the nuts from the original. You'll need a trim pulling tool (or plastic putty knife or similar), a DEEP 10mm socket, and a Phillips screw driver. I think that's it. There are videos on YouTube for how to do it.
Lastly, you will need some kind of adhesive if you want to transfer the Toyota medallion to this part. Original is attached via a double sided foam sticker/tape (easy to remove via razor or box cutter). I used E6000 adhesive... so far so good, but haven't been through any crazy temperature extremes yet. This garnish has the two holes perfectly placed for the medallion's alignment pins.
