More Metal Trim
Is there anyway to make the third spoke on the steering wheel, the one at the bottom, have that metal look. There is just the black plastic over it and i think it would look better if it matched the rest of the wheel with the metal.

Don't you guys notice there is a reason there is not a metal piece there?
Look at the steering wheel in relation to the rest of the dash. Notice how the two silver pieces line up with the silver trim on the dash? There are there to add to the flow of the silver line. Adding silver to that bottom area would break up that continuity, visually it would look like a silver dot out by it's self.
Of course, this whole idea of flow and balance is shot to hell if you have the silver trim kit, because everything at that point is silver then.

Good point... never looked at it that way. I just simply noticed that a piece looked like it belonged there.
I like the comment on the additional trim kit elements looking crazy!!!

Exactly...The TSX "sticker" in the centre console does cheapen the look of the car...but it makes a wicked Avatar...
P.S. Off topic...if you wanna see pics of me, just on the album entitled Nat Nat

Over all, if the price came down on the metal trim, I'd get it...although I'd do without all the metal peices on the centre console.
