Looks DAMN good man, I like the 3M wrapped pieces too. I knew that material would look in place on a custom interior.

Well, since i'm located in Sweden i think it is kinda irrelevant telling how much it cost. Two different currencies, two different economics.

Next week´i'm going to pick up my shifter ****, it will have the same style, black with red stitches- perfect match.

Okay... how many Euros? I just looked up the cost of living in Sweden compared to Dallas, and Sweden is overall 5% cheaper, sooooo the price should still be somewhat relevant.

Did you pay about $250 euros...?

I think your car looks great. The interior definitely shows you have good taste.

We still have our own currency in Sweden- swedish crown. But if we talking Euro- then it is 150€ (without receipt = no VAT )

Where did you find the info of Sweden being cheaper? You know that Sweden has probably the highest rate of taxation in the whole world. The tax rate begins at aprx 33%. And if i want to purchase something i have 25% VAT on everything.
Sweden is probably the only country where a hot shot lawyer or a plastic surgeon cannot afford to hire a building carpenter to restore his own house. You get ripped off by the GOV every single time you open your damn wallet in Sweden.

I thank you for the compliment about my interior.

That sounds like a good deal! A lot better than I was quoted last year for a place in Florida to do it.

I used this site and compared Dallas to Stockholm:
http://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living

It didn't give a great ratio since it lacks service industries, but... I figured it was good enough for me. Don't ask me what an expat is... because I have no idea

What is your income tax rate though? A flat tax of 33% wouldnt be as bad as what some of us pay with federal income tax + state income tax + sales tax. BUT rest assured a VAT will soon be impossed on us as well....

OK enough of that rant...again I love the wheel! Brangeta what were you quoted to do one like it?

No, I experimented with black enamel and a very small brush, same stuff using for plastic model kits e.g. aeroplains, boats and cars. Result is not perfect but ok.

The incom tax rate starts at 33%. VAT is 25%. Then you have carbon dioxide tax on gas, electricity on top of the 25% VAT+some other stupid fees.
