Looks like you hit Rapid Crap for the spoke covers, too! While I'm not impressed with the quality on mine, they look pretty good. How did you secure them along the seam? Can't tell from the shot, but have you thought about the Dash Dots from Streamline? The pieces on the steering wheel make it look like a faceted jewel. I highly recommend them!

You're right about the quality of the Rapid Craft covers. Tried sealing them with more chrome tape and that failed miserably. I just keep reminding myself to not look around the back of the steering wheel! I do have the dash dots from Streamline. I love them.

OT - too much gold? Not possible, besides I trim everything I can in chrome!

No way! I like it. That's the beauty of the Dream Cruiser Series 1-it is bright on the inside. I am not a fan of dark interiors (do not like the DARK interior they put on the GT) and love the light taupe/white/gold of my dreamer. It made for quite a transition when I went from the cranberry 01 to the 02 dreamer-from night to day!!!

Ahhh, RapidCrap. I know that if I ever get into Heaven (odds against that), it'll partially be because of my campaign to expose those cretins for what they were. I'll bet St. Peter likes purty painted center bezels, too.
