Interoir Dress Up: Steeda A/C Billet Knobs Review

[gilmoujr]

The look of them is not that great. They have these grooves in them all over the place that make it look like they took little time in production - like the machine was run too fast to spit more out in less time. They looked like crap, so I decided to get a set of UPR pieces instead (I also got the radio know from UPR too, so the set matches). When I went to take two of the Steeda pieces off, they were STUCK. It took pliers to get them off. I was pissed. Then when I put on the UPR peices, the two that stuck rotate all the way around (360 degrees rather than stopping at the appropriate points). They still work but you have no stopping points. It may sound lame but it is something that I will have to replace later if I want the stops there. I am usually not picky about these types of things but I think that with Steeda's reputation for fine products, I thought the pieces woule be a little better.

I have the UPR A/C knobs too. I really like them, but jsut as you said, they dont have STOPEPRS on the back of them so on the Cold/Hot dial, they constally spin. I have found a way to stop it. I have going to supeorglue a small scrap plastic to on the same location as where the stocks one are. That will stop it.

So am I wrong in what I said about the Steeda peices? Maybe it is the UPR ones that are not built right. Anyway, the Steeda pieces do not look as good as the UPR pieces, so the UPR's are staying on. I am just glad that I do not have to replace the switches.

for me only the Hot/Cold spins 360. It is just eh stoppers that does it. They are not broken. Look at he back of the stocks ones, you will see what I mean. Not really a big deal - unless you have small kids like me
