Looks nice, but I have to say, the S3's start to look like Lancers when the interior gets modded

WHY did they make the interior so. . . . . boring?!

BTW, that was NOT aimed at you, but at Mazda

But S3 look so boring! Like a Lancer, or an 80's Crown Vic!

You've made yours nice, though, and the wheel really completes the look (a clutch pedal would do wonders too )

Gonna go with some OEM style? Or some ricer Autozone style like I'll probably end up with (they have some nice black ones that don't look too ricey!)

Been looking for a nice 13" wheel for my car...but the interior although not finished is accented with red and black and I've been having trouble finding a wheel in red/black that I like...just a question, I know a couple guys on the forum have momo wheels just wondering if they require a steering wheel adaptor?

i was thinking about those pedals too...they're really cheap!

but yeah about the mounting, it would look kind of gay to have brackets that wrap around the original pedal like most aftermarket pedals do, cuz you'd see the brackets through those big holes!!!

i wonder if there's a way to install them without "seeing" the brackets

Interesting wheel. Haven't seen that one yet. Looks kinda like a Momo w/ the F1 horn button option. Put a Grant GT 3 spoke in my GSL & have a mahogany Dino in my wide body 7.

Looks really nice! The rest of the the interior included.

As far as the pedals go, stock is the way to go (black), I don't see adding fake lightweight pedals to existing steel ones.
