switched out my m3 steering trim for 335 steering trim

montreal red · 02-01-2010, 08:30 PM

so i got a hold of a 335 steering wheel trim and custom painted the side pieces to match my body color. what do you guys think? yay or nay? i still have my original M3 trim so i could still go back.

should i try painting some other trim pieces in red as well? hmm..

ChronoJ1 · 02-01-2010, 08:31 PM

eh, looks out of place.

ium3 · 02-01-2010, 08:41 PM

duk · 02-01-2010, 08:41 PM

I give you props for being different, and I don't think it looks bad at all, but I'd definitely prefer the OEM wheel with the M-colored stitching.

not sure chris, it seems a bit out of place to me. I think the car is red enough already :-)

jackolo · 02-01-2010, 09:05 PM

The red stitching was enough for me. The red trim was just overboard.

NG=No Good

niqui · 02-01-2010, 09:17 PM

cover the trim in alcantara, i got that, i think it looks cool.

artifice · 02-01-2010, 09:17 PM

I think it would/will look fine if the silver trim was different. Just toned down, carbon trim?

montreal red · 02-01-2010, 09:35 PM

contemplating doing this to the rest of my trim..painting everything red... maybe leave the dash piece silver. i dont know

what do you guys think?

A1rjrdn23 · 02-01-2010, 10:51 PM

cf wrap your trim imo

Ca$hOnly · 02-01-2010, 11:00 PM

I like it. Steering wheel and shifter look sick as well!

Yep. One more who thinks that. And those Porsches with body-color interior pieces look like crap IMO.

If you want something different, get that piece in Alcantara, as previously mentioned by somebody else. BMW sells it, by the way; ask Tischer. You need to learn to rest when you're done man

leemik · 02-01-2010, 11:21 PM

Pleeeeeeeeeease don't paint your interior..

M-Tuned · 02-01-2010, 11:31 PM

good job on the paint but not enough red to support it IMO.

It would look nice if a matching aluminum trim replaces the red on the new steering wheel.

It's not a Civic! Switch it back!
