Is this TACKY?? Sparco Mixed W/ MOMO
I currently have Sparco Torinos Black/Grey and I like Momo shifters and Steering wheels but is it tacky to mix brands like this? I just don't like Sparco's wheels at all.
Any info would be greatly appreciated...btw I do plan on showing my car.
Thanks,
Chris

Agreed!
If any one gives you crap about mixing those brands, I would just shove the PRICE TAG in their face and say how can stuff that costs this much be tacky you @$$! I have seen tons of people w/ MOMO steering wheels and Sparco seats and I was one of them with my last car before the Z. No one ever gave me crap about it. Just my .02!

Yea thats the way forward. And they aint paying you.

Use as many different things as you want...as long as they all look good together who cares what brand they are? Like you said, it's not like they're sponsoring you and forcing you to use all their products.

LOL I dont think anyone will rip on your for taking two expensive name brands and putting it on your expensive sports car
Momo is famous... and so is Sparco... both have received huge props from the ricer community... but that doesnt matter their products are still AMAZING!!... I used a momo shifter + bag... and I plan on going Bride or Sparco for the seating... I think a lot of people use that same sort of setup! So dont worry about it...

Who cares if it is expensive? Money does not buy taste, plain and simple.
If what you have installed in your car appeals to you visually, then roll with it. If you are questioning it, you probably already know that you don't like it, so change it....

I have the same combo, Momo shifter and steering wheel and Sparco seats (Monzas), and I get compliments all the time. BTW, you also might want to change the boot to match as well. I got mine from www.redlinegoods.com and the stitching in the boot matches the stitching on the steering wheel and shifter just about perfect.

Momo race and champion are hands down best steering wheels ever . . . had the race myself with a momo race leather shift **** and carbon e brake cover - Recaro seats, really doesn't matter - just keep the wheel, ****, and ebrake congruent . . .

Wrong answer.

Right answer!
sparcos are nice, but I think anything momo is tacky.
Psssshh.. please. Sparco is like PIAA, in my opinion, they're all about getting their name in the scene but *most* of their stuff is just fluff. MOMO however, makes some fairly good stuff. There's no doubt that their steering wheels are great, their shifters are fine, and their seats are also good.
Personally, I use MOMO for steering wheel products.. and Recaro for seats. Its all a matter of taste and what you think that company is superior in selling. To me, Recaro has and will always make the best seats that money can buy. I wouldnt even THINK of comparing a Sparco to a Recaro. AND, when it comes to racing harnesses.. I would rather tie my *** down with a rope than use Sparco harnesses.. which is why I chose to go with Schroth.
Best advice? Try something before you buy it. All you need to do is some research and carefyl inspection. Typically, quality will show.. in addition to the product's pricetag.

The steering wheel looks like an evos...... Does it have an airbag??

It's like work-out clothing. I grab whatever's comfortable and what makes me happy. I end up at the gym in a Russel shirt, Adidas shorts, Champion socks, Nike shoes, Shreck Weight belt, and Harbinger gloves. And you know what, maybe that's "tacky," but at least I'm at the gym and having fun.
