The dash kit is typically designed to match the factory dash color and texture as closely as possible. However, slight variations can occur due to lighting and material aging.
Troubleshooting

Ensure all assembly steps for the dash kit were followed correctly. Check for any obstructions in the dashboard opening and verify you have the correct kit for your specific 4Runner year and trim.
