What do you think of this?
I own a 2000 civic ex. I've noticed on newer civics(7th/8th gen) the steering wheels have a chrome H badge and a black background.
On my car it's all gray. What I was thinking of doing was to paint over the H logo with mirror chrome or silver paint and filling the background with gloss black paint. It would look just like the newer wheels...or it should. I would have to mask off the wheel and slightly sand down the H and background so the paint doesn't come off.
Have you seen anyone try this yet? I think it would be a fun little mod to do.
this is what I hope turns out:
Before, wheel from odyssey but same color/general design:
After:

Re: What do you think of this?
I don't know man. The emblem on the 7th gen is a solid piece. I think it may end up looking pretty crappy if you gave this a whirl.
