Interior Decorating :)

vinyl wrapped metal trim on the shift knob, steering wheel, ashtray lid and start/stop button.... while i was at it, did my reflectors (they were painted white). pretty satisfied with the results.

Sorry for the filthy car, its getting washed and waxed tomorrow, before the real photoshoot

oh, and my trim is gray poplar wood, not sure why it came out brown.....

headlee103 · 04-20-2009, 01:18 PM

you should sell me your AW reflectors, and I'll give you stock ones if you are gonna wrap them

I have OEM ones sitting on the shelf at home

But honestly why would you want to buy used ones? They are not THAT expensive, you know? Plus these spent a year on my car, they are starting to fade.

I am actually thinking of switching painted for actual smoked reflectors... i dunno....

wakeboarder109 · 04-20-2009, 01:39 PM

very clean!

shawshank772 · 05-14-2009, 02:07 AM

Man.. I would so do this. THe only problem is the ring around the start button. I have a 08 1 series and it says year 1 of the 1 on it. I dont think it would turn out well

SoCali E36 · 05-14-2009, 04:40 AM

LuckysilverE90 · 05-14-2009, 11:32 AM
