Default Blue Steering Wheel, Blue Shift Boot, Blue E-Brake Boot

I mentioned about 3 weeks ago that I was considering changing my steering, shift boot, and e-brake boot to blue. Well, I did it. The entire interior was done by Leatherseats.com. To have your steering wheel changed to any color on Leatherseats.com's website is $280. The shift boot in your color choice is $49. The ebrake boot in your color choice is $49. The quality is much better than stock is was patterned off the stock equipment, so fitament is like stock. I included a close-up shot of the shift boot so you can see that the fitament is PERFECT. Well, here are the pics!!!

The advantage of going this route are:

1. You keep the airbag
2. The fitament is not generic, but patterned the exact same as stock
3. Price is much less than Momo steering wheel, shift boot, etc.

Ethan, I honestly wish I could take a picture that did it justice. It is one of those things that you have to experience rather that look at on the internet. Kind of like 500+ rwhp.

Love your car man but that is ALOT of blue (IMO). Maybe it's just the pic quality/color but is it really that light?
just curious but what made you go with it on the center dash/consol ande the steering wheel. I am more of a fan of Audi's blue treatment in the last gen S4. they left it off the wheel and dash. oh well. it's only my thoughts.

I actually only did my seats to begin with, but it didn't seem complete. The dash looked naked with the plain black, so I did parts of the dash, then the steering wheel and boots looked left out. I decided to do a theme in the interior, and IMO I think I accomplished exactly what I set out to do. The color is definately darker in person. I flashed those pics and probably shouldn't have. Oh well. You will see more pics soon that are professionally done.

When I clicked on your sig with the other pics i went and looked through those and noticed you had a theme going there with the interior lighting also. the more I see it the more it looks like it works. especially if the flash was on and the color is a tad darker in person. you have put alot of time into your car and for that you definitely have the most unique and rare that i have seen. Congrats!

Hmm, I am not sure of the name on the color, but it is not IBP. I actually didn't go IBP because I didn't want to overdue the color. It creates an offset between the exterior of the car and the interior.

The guages are for boost, EGT, and fuel pressure as safeguards on the turbo setup.
