Default Grille blackout with a twist and new steering wheel

Just wanted to show off a few of my most recent mods.

Along with my blacked out taillights, rear side markers and 3rd brake light (no pictures yet), I did a few other mods.

I have a base model V6 and I wanted the leather steering wheel so I purchased one from PennState which was slightly damaged(the aluminum pieces were scratched up)


Some of you may not approve of the fake carbon fibre, but at least I went for the good fake stuff. I found a shop that uses the 3m Di-NOC vinyl.

Next up is my pony grille blackout with a twist. I just did it and it's still drying, so no pics of it yet on the car.




Hope you enjoy. Here are pics of how my car currently looks without the blacked out tails to give you an idea(have to repaint the lower lip)







Hope you enjoy

Very nice. You should tint your windows next.

thanks for the input guys. Tint is definitely on the list of things to do. I don't want to tint my quarters though and then get louvres, especially if I go with the SHR ones, then I would've wasted a bunch of money tinting.

Off to a good start. I like the steering wheel.

Good job on the grill. The steering wheel definitely has some pizzaz to it, man. I can't focus on it for too long long though, because the carbon look makes me a little dizzy.

I plan on doing more interior pieces in the carbon vinyl(not too much, just the vent sections and then the center console and radio trim)

The green really stands out on the car as you walk up to it, but it's still subtle enough that most people won't notice that it's not normally like that.
