Default Stainless interior bits?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any interior stainless replacement / covers that I can use to bling up the interior?
I've seen pedal covers, but what other parts are available, and where can I get them from?
Thanks for the help....

I have some piece...

Hard to see but this is a GM PERFORMANCE DIVISION emblem:



I also have "stainless" trim on my Cobalt gauges, Nitrous Arming Panel, Pedals, CAMARO inserts on the steering wheel and a Trans-Am Bezel I modified with a stainless bezel inside it...

PM Matt/Muffinbuster.....his SN on here is DragonZ28. His company does Stainless Steel items for F-bodies, everything from engine stuff, exterior, interior, etc...

Talk to him and see what he can or can't do for you!

for the "Bling" factor could always go for Stainless Door Seals, Stainless TCS plate, Polished Gauge Overlays... not really much else on the interior cept maybe a few odd and ends you "may" be able to get done.

Thanks for the replys, I am surprised there isn't more already on the market, what with all the under hood dress up stuff available.

I'll have to have a think, and find out whats doable. I'm thinking something with the gear stick , fan shrouds, handbrake button, stereo buttons, sills, pedals type stuff. Not too OTT, just small bits here and there.
Any other surgestions are very welcome.

Hmmm...

Some good thoughts there guys.

97ramsst, where did you get your vent rings, and do they shine like chrome/ stainless? Your door strikers look awsome BTW!

toofazt, that was not me who bought the sills, but I hope to buy some soon!!

Isn't there somewhere that makes a chrome badge for the steering wheel arrow? (Vinly chrome just ain't the same).

Putting a chrome or stainless steel emblem on the arrowhead logo on the airbag on the steering wheel would be like driving with a loaded gun aimed at your head. When that airbag goes off, the chrome emblem will become a deadly projectile. Kinda like having an arrow shot at you.

A guy on here name Boyd made the vent rings...he lives in Spain. They are fully polished (stainless I think) and shine like chrome. They look great....WAY WAY WAY better than painting them silver.

You got a link for him ?
How easy were they to fit ?

I thought your head was surposed to hit the airbag, not the wheel cover??
My Other car has a badge on the steering wheel from the factory, and that look's chrome ??

The wheel cover peels-away/rips-open when the airbag fires. Anything glued/attached to the cover has the potential of becoming a projectile.

Sent you a PM but he's "boyd" on this forum so you can PM him. They were easy to fit - great quality and shipping speed was amazing from Spain to the US (Iowa).

Do a search on vent rings and I posted pics a while back on how to install them...there is nothing to it but the pictures will help to explain the directions that come with them (I found them a bit confusing.)
