Its your car so do what you want. I just think this is going to be one of those moments when you’re like 23-24 that you look back and go “why the hell did I ever do that to a nice car?”. Don’t worry most of us have those moments. I put headlight covers and silver door trim on my 1st car. ---

[quote=“psphinx81,post:45,topic:35593"”] shutup ricer [/quote] lol you’re the one who wanted to polish your can so it was a shiny as mine! :walter: and my latest ricer sticker still hasn’t come in yet :snky: oh and motocross… I think whenever one wants to change the appearance of one’s interior away from stock appearing, subtlety is key. When in doubt, don’t. Maybe even photoshop it first to see what you feel about it after a few days. ---

[quote=“Motocrossx23,post:20,topic:35593"”] i love how everyone on NYspeed hates everything that anyone does lol, its like a community of senile old men sometimes, but hey, i couldve done worse, i was thinking about triming it out with pink head light film and maybe some sparco seats with matching pink harnesses…oh wait… (not calling out newman, just proving a point) [/quote] lol i dont understand the senile old men comment, however i did tell newman i thought his rosy pink headlights were gay after he sneezed like a little girl at tullys 😛 all things aside, the hello kitty steering wheel is fucking hilarious, and completely removable. ---

i’ll try to be the one who’s not jumping on his nutz. Motocross… i applaud your DIY efforts, buy if you paint your air vents i’m going to punch you in the neck. I painted my trim as well (except with automotive base/clear): Before: ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/DIY_09.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/DIY_09.JPG) After: ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/interior_install2.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/interior_install2.JPG) in my opinion it can be done, but as mentioned already… the key is “subtlety”.
