Some black plastic paint or dye on the black parts with a little white-out (hey, it comes with it's own tiny brush!) for the horn emblem itself will make the wheel really pop. I'm thinking about painting mine body color silver when I paint the car in the next few weeks.

So, I'm guessing you don't have an excuse not to make it to the Import Carlisle show towards the end of May?

Just got to cross reference the dates and hope I'm not working. I should be there if I'm not working. :)
