Hey Raul, how'd you get trim off? I have spare steering wheels and it looks like without removing the steering column panels, you can't get the trim around the airbag off.

And for anyone trying to do this... please don't paint it with a spray can, this has to be done with a airbrush or paint gun with automotive clear. Once Raul tells me how to remove it, I can ship my trim already painted gloss black for whoever needs it, I'll just need your core piece back or you can buy it out right. PM us if interested.

How am I jacking his thread? I could go and see how it comes apart, but when someones done it, why not let someone know how it's done so no mistakes are made. Not for nothing I've contributed to this forum as well, at least I think I did.

Agreed ... You have contributed and I can appreciate your quality craftsman ship... But you also have a vendor section to advertise in, you don't have to thread jack...

Last time I checked, vendors aren't limited to where they promote their service.

If someone posts a thread asking about exhausts, Amplified Motorsports has every right to come in and promote their products.

The only thread jacking that's going on in here is you accusing me of thread jacking, so if you want to further discuss this, feel free to PM me.

Thanks

No one asked what vendor sells this item, No sense arguing with you... Especially not in this thread.

BACK ON TOPIC!


Nice work as usually Raul... Your ride is clean!

I think it would look great even without the CF, especially if you paint all the aluminum trim. A lot of luxury brands offer that as the "Piano Trim". I believe Infiniti offers it on the new FX. I painted all the wood trim in my CLS 55 in gloss black and it looked great.

PS. ipitythefoo why don't you attach your banner in your signature so you don't have to put the IMG code every time you make a reply lol

Because Raul, doggy (and every standard member) lost our priveleges of HTML in our sigs. So we post them in our posts. If you look at my other posts from my computer you can still see the code in my real sig. I'm not paying for premier just for a sig.
