WTF? For real? There is no way I'm dealing with all of that to change the stupid trim. Thought it was just some screws.

I looked at the black bits as well, but you know, I don't really even notice the silver anymore, and when I found out you had to take the steering wheel apart to change them I simply stopped thinking about them!

All of the DB Carbon stuff looks great, I just can't stomach the exchange from the Canadian Peso when it comes to paying for it...

The silver dash trim in my 991.1 drove me nuts until I swapped the wheel to a Macan wheel with the silver spokes (main part silver, center trim/MF black, reverse of the 718 wheel). The silver on the wheel really tied the room together (to quote a movie) and the dash trim quit looking out of place to me. I still think I might do the trim swap on my GTS just to make it unique...definitely would do it if I'd gone with a Spyder. Pulling the wheel and disassembling everything isn't really hard, just tedious.
