Dee Zee Tailgate Assist. $32 and less than 30 minutes to install. Great mod if you have young kids.

FWIW, I installed four LED license plate lights to the underside of my fiberglass tonneau cover and power them with a lithium 9V battery. Lots of light when its dark out and the battery has been in there over a year with no signs of getting tired. Cheaper and easier than a running a constant 12V power source to the box.

Radio Shack has 9V battery clips and the plastic snap connectors.

Simple but effective way to find the keys that always end up in the very bottom of the console!! 5 dollars for some 3m clips.

Did you just use touch up paint for this?

He didn't. It's an appearance package interior which comes with the wheel spokes painted. The only thing the owner changed is the vent surround paint.
