Cool My Custom Steering wheel :-D

So, ive been afraid for a while to pry off my steering wheel spokes, because i was afraid i would mess up my steering wheel and have to spend a bunch of money that i dont have! Well, today i gained up enough courage and decided to pry them off and paint them. And i did. Took 2 pics. Tell me what you think!!







How does it look?? All i need to do now: paint my center dash, buy rims :-D

Very nice job. If I didn't know better I would say your steering wheel came that way. Good Job!

looks good
it looks like you painted the cupholder too.

I like it.

I would put a red stripe on the shifter as well, to tie everything together.

Now you need to put a red stripe on the vents.

Not vertical either, horizontal and do every other one.

Get busy!



Just kidding.

It looks great.




All I have planned for my interior is a dash kit, new shift knob and one of those wolfsburg crests for the steering wheel.

Putting red stripes on the air vents. Hmmm, sounds a little bit more difficult. The fruits of my labor would be well worth it. I may just try it! :-D
