si_civic's modified FG2 steering wheel !!
Ok, it's not CUSTOM, but custom painted by me.

THERE ARE HIDDEN SiR 8500RPM CUSTOM GUAGES MUAHHA

Took 2 hours. I don't recommend doing this if you're NOT experienced in masking and/or painting experience. Take off the bezel if you hate masking. I used 3M masking tape, House of Kolors paint and clearcoat.

BEFORE



DURING



AFTER



Other parts of the Princess Taffy that I painted myself:


LOWER FASCIA


GRILLE


VALVE COVER

What paint did you use for the lower rear bumper?
Have you tried DuPont's Duplicolor paint?

I love duplicolor. I don't remember exactly what I used for the lower bumper. Let's just say its scuff resistant, chip resistant, flexible, and made for plastic lol.

AND..

I used a LOT of coats.

Wheel came out great! Also like the bumper treatment too

What kind of rear muffler are you running looks? better with a dual tip.

Thanks!

I also flat-black painted the SHELL of the muffler as well, leaving the tips shiny and polished (using flexible high heat paint again). That's not in the picture, however.

Wow that all looks good.. tach as well, sweet how you got it in there. Too bad you cant' actually rev it to 9 ;P

My only dislike is the exhaust - it looks hella ricey imo. The rest is sexy, though.

Very nice work. I had to look at the wheel twice to see what you did. OEM-quality aftermarket.

Just let you know that you painted Intake Manifold cover, not valve cover. But everything looks great. I want that tach.
