Fantastic looking car! Pepper White is a great canvas to highlight exterior upgrades, but then again, I'm biased...

Not sure if it's faftory or DIY but, I see your interior is blacked out downtubes, speedo ring, ac vents, tach, etc... How did you black out the pieces of the steering wheel? Been trying to figure out a way to get the silver plastic off the steering wheel to paint it.

Interesting that you guys don't get the side markers in Europe. Looks so much nicer without them.
