What do you think? I'm really liking the contrast, matches the rest of the interior.

How about the piece around the door opening handle, black or as is?

I do a quick spray with the power washer than wipe my engine down with a micro fiber towel. What does everyone else do? Been doing this going on 5 years with no issues

I sometimes have trouble visualizing things and one man's "quick spray" is different from anothers. Next time you do it can you shoot a quick YouTube? The last time I used water to clean my engine bay I ended up frying a coil or 2 and the cat. Don't want to do that again!

haha that's exactly why I haven't done it yet.. but my engine bay is filthy.

al_breezy535i · 05-28-2020, 09:16 AM

I think this too but it seems to come like that from factory..

I don't like it lol

CanadianTSi · 05-29-2020, 08:09 AM

Had the chrome trim wrapped black.

brz62 · 05-31-2020, 07:03 PM

I ordered these from eBay. I love the look but they didn't have any clips to hold them in the openings. I ordered some super duper double sided tape and had to adhere them with that. So far so good.
