Hey guys,

I have an '02 M3 SMG carbon black with gray interior. The car originally came with titanium trim that was somewhat worn and I didn’t like the look. So, I replaced it with black aluminum cube trim. The only things remaining what have the titanium trim are the SMG dome and steering wheel trim. I would like to replace them as well but I wanted some input on what direction to take. I was thinking about going with the silver carbon fibre pieces but I’m not sure if it will fit in well with the gray interior.  
All the feedback is greatly appreciated!

Current setup:

Steering Wheel Trim from EAS:

I could also change the brake handle to match whichever color I pick.

Thanks!

I think the CF would look funny next to the other trim you just put in, since it looks like its trying to be CF.

i say stick with the black CF if you are going that route.

I think the current set-up looks the best.

I agree. Unless you want to swap it all out for EAS trim, leave it as is.

IMO if you go with the carbon trim route try to stay with the same company throughout the car. Ive seen people use different companies before and the color is either off or the weave is at a different angle.
