Removing (aftermarket?) steering wheel trim

I recently bought a used 2021 SR5 Crewmax. One thing I do not like is that the two vertical black pieces of trim on the steering wheel are raised and grate across your hand after turning and letting the wheel turn back through your hands. The buttons also aren't flush.

I'm now realizing that this is probably some aftermarket trim that doesn't fit as well. Are these likely stick-on that I could remove, revealing the original looking factory trim underneath? Or will I need to order new trim pieces? Or does it actually come this way OEM?

EDIT: attaching a photo

 

Welcome! I just replaced mine. Had to take the airbag portion of steering wheel off then unscrew old silver trim. I don’t know of any overlays. Where are you located?

Ok fair, I should have included a picture. I updated my original post. It looks like I can see silver plastic underneath? What does the OEM trim look like? I have seen some videos of replacement involving removing the steering wheel pad. Can the OEM trim be ordered separately or do I have to buy those whole button / control units?

 

Those are taped on covers. Pull off and use Goof Off and maybe a plastic razor.

 

Thanks texasrho83. I'm a little worried what's underneath is damaged / scratched and that's why the overlays were added? Only one way to find out...

 

If you like the blacked out theme, buy the actual black trim pieces and remove what you currently have. https://yotaxpedition.com/products/steering-wheel-blackout-surround

Once you have them off (if you want to keep the silver pieces) it'll be easier to separate the overlay with the goof off that @texasrho83 recommended
For safety be sure to disconnect the neg battery for about 10-15min since you'll be dealing with the airbag.

 

Yank em off. See what you got to work with

 

Welcome from TN!! I replaced my OEM steering wheel with an aftermarket one from Amazon. I love the new wheel but I didn't replace the inserts with black ones.
Those black ones look good!

 

I have the AJT pieces. They replace the original pieces. I just went with the black. https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/collections/steering-wheel-trim

 

Also here is a thread with more stuff they have: https://www.tundras.com/threads/ajt-designs-what-have-you-done.86670/page-3

 

A little heat to soften the double sided tape, slowly peel off.. should be ok underneath..

 

Ok thanks everybody. That was pretty easy. Didn't even need the goo gone, the adhesive strips mostly just pulled right off. The right side was a little scuffed underneath but no big deal. I do kinda like the all black so I might swap them out, but I'm definitely glad the stick on pieces are gone!

 

THANK YOU!!!! This has aggravated me a long time. I am darn near blacked out but still the damn steering wheel. I have already ordered these in matte black. Huge thanks!

Looks good

 

Nice @panicman ... but why is the left side of your steering wheel swollen??

 

camera angle.

 

It was partially deflated

No, I used wide angle and it distorted the edges of the image!
