Smile Steering Wheel Emblem Chrome Peeling

I have been looking at the forums for several years and wanted to say thank you to all those who post such helpful information. As a woman I find it useful to read and be informed before going to the dealership.

My steering wheel emblem began to peel and show signs of wear and tear, while the rest of the vehicle is holding up well. Peeled the chrome from the raised edges to show the white under, added a little clear finger nail polish to add a little shine and keep the whit e clean and I think it turned out great. Simple easy for those like me with no mechanical skills. The nail polish gave it a pearl effect, which works with my car.

Also purchase the beat-sonic kit, Pioneer AVH-P4400, and the Kenwood CM301 back-up camera with the help of post on the form. Great to have my Sc430 with all the bells and whistles of the newer cars.

New car feel without the new car price

Now that is a slick idea, rather polished, one might say. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself. )

The feedback and information on this site is great. One more picture to get a better idea of the overall look.

That's one very clean interior for a 10 year old car.
