Aluminum Trim on Sports Steering Wheel

robbr · 04-28-2005, 06:34 PM

I picked up the U.S. accessories catalog yesterday... It did show the lighted door sills priced at $750 for all 4 doors, you know installation is extra... I'm not sure about the steering wheels trim though.

That's ridiculous. Maybe someone will make an even cooler aftermarket ones, maybe with whatever color of your choice too.

Its strange though, some of the Europeans actually trade in their clear lenses for Amber ones like the Americans!! Im like, HUH?!?!?!

I didn't start this thread, but I am interested getting the aluminum insert for my steering wheel (it's the sports steering wheel with mulitfunction buttons). It appears as though you can only get this part in Europe or the UK. Would you be willing to help? I will pay you for the part, shipping, and a reasonable price for your time. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am sure one of our members will be willing to do it. Keep in mind however, that the part is not Brushed Aluminum, but Titanium Trim. So in other words, since we only get Brushed here in the US, it won't match.

I looked at this as a must have initially, then realized it wasn't worth the effort or look.

Just wait for aftermarket. I think there'll be some nice options out there... maybe we'll see a nice carbon fiber one too?

Thanks for the information on the brushed aluminum versus titanium. I guess I will have to go without.

The grass is always greener on the other side.
