The only problem I have with these things, and they definately look badd ***, but what happens if you get in an accident.... since they cover your air bag... I know it wouldn't prevent it from opening, but i imagine that you now have a nice little projectile going straight for your head, a sharp one at that... seems like it could cause a lot of damage or death... ?

Mike - thanks for posting. I've been staring at this one for a while on eBay, but wasn't sure if it was really a "decal" or more of a plastic overlay, which it seems to be. Now if I can only justify the coin to buy a little thing like this...

anybody else notice the humor in the previous two posts? The wolf after the beautiful blonde? Hmmmmmm??? I was hoping for opinions on my previous request on here concerning the color choice. Hard to believe no one has an opinion...sheeeeeesh.

The image on my wheel (2000) is embossed and as such has both depressed as well as raised areas. I don't see how this decal could lay flat.

They are called Raised Inserts and sit on top of the embossed logo and do not contour to it. I get lots of complements on mine.

I have a black interior too and I think maybe the Carbon Fiber one would look good because you would still see a little bit of the rings and flag posts but it won't completely stand out like white, red or silver.

I was beginning to think you all thought I was a leper or somehing. I had looked atthe carbon fiber ones too. That would be the only carbon fiber I would have on the car. Like I stated, the rings on the mats are silver, but on the steering wheel, perhaps being more subtle would be good. I did make my first ebay purchase today....one of those passenger cup holders by 'girl-in-a box'. Anyway...thank you for your opinion. OH...on my black car, I bought the 'brakelight' red letters from Ecklers for the rear bumper letters....looks GREAT. Does not leap out at you and matches the brake lights. Thought I would throw that out in case you had not done that yet. Other people prefer flash, which is ok too.

I've had the brakelight letters on for a while now. I'm the same way, I like the mods but not too flashy. No gold or chrome letters or louvers.
Not even the blackouts. I did go with some Black anodized 3 piece wheels from CCW with just a polished aluminum ring surrounding it. Looks great. Of course I had to throw the 335's on the back too.
