Late response here, hoping you see it!

Car looks great man, wrap and wheels are awesome, as is the interior.
What color leather did you have them re wrapped with? Is that how bright cardinal is brand new or is that the late model Bimmer red interior? I want to do something similar with my Delphin interior so any help is much appreciated. Please PM me any details you can! Again, awesome ride.

thenewguy: What convertible shop did you take that to? Any pictures of the top and the rear window? Also, what/how did you paint the vert top lid with?

i took it to http://www.allcityconvertibles.com/ in kirkland, great work! they took off old stuff, removed the frame, cleaned the frame, repainted the frame, installed the frame, installed new top, and converted it to a manual top, and sourced all the parts for the manual top swap out... they also adjusted the automatic top on my 1998 e36 328i vert and got it working a lot better than it was. great work!

i will get some pics of the top and rear window soon.

the vert top lid, i removed the cream leather, cleaned/sanded off the old glue residue, and wrapped it with some 3m 1080 matte black vinyl. no paint.

Take a scrubbie pad and some Ajax . Put aJax on scrubbie pad and rub it over the yellow circles on the new tires. Scrub until the circles are removed. Does not take long. Then wash the tires/rims and reapply tire dressing. Many people forget this detail and it takes an otherwise clean looking sidewall and makes it look ghetto with the little factory circles.

ic, u might be able to get them powdercoated chrome, they have a powdercoat that looks similar to a chrome look. then have the painted in a transparent gold over them. should yeild the same effect depending how shiny the chrome look powdercoat is gonna be...

[golde30]

interesting method, but doesnt help me. would take years to polish out my RZ with all the mesh. guess im back to saving up for 24K dip.

golde30: sup, thanks for the comments! is saw your car as well, super clean in person!

so what was done:

1- polish the lips, i took them to a local metal polishing shop that has a wheel machine and they got them super shiny.
2- transparent gold powdercoat, done locally from a guy that does powder from home.
3- put them back together and there you have it.

side note, i bought the polished hex caps from a guy from stanceworks.com, they came polished, but the metal shop polished them up even more!

[golde30]

those gold lips look really really good. Saw your car in person at the picnic also, the wrap job looked awesome.

How is the gold lip done? is that gold chrome? i want to get my BBS RZ done completely in gold like those lips...

[wu99wu]

sup sup, so FINALLY got them DONE!! cleaned them up today and took some nice pics! kinda gloomy out, so u can just imagine how shiny the gold would be under some sun!! so finally got some real OEM BBS caps, the polished hex cap CNC cut to fit the OEM BBS center caps, the OEM style 5 caps, gold marble dice air valve caps, and gold air stem sleaves. new rubber & the spare is done as well! what you guys think?!?!?

[wu99wu]

sup, headlights have a matte smoke film on all 4 parts. intended to look that way.

so hope to have all lights, radio, alarm, glove box, some random electronics and interior bulbs all working & rear acs kopi rear add-on all on car by end of nxt wk. then install e90 top hats for front & possibly getting some thinner adapters for the fronts & get the gold set of wheels on the car by mid month!

stay tuned!
