    Looks awesome.

    Are you planning on putting something in that blank spot beside the deck?

      It won't be there for long. Jordan and myself are both getting the non-OBC heater panel from the european-market 316i.
      There's no spot for the OBC, and the stereo opening is centered in the panel.

                I just finish sanded it and painted with some SEM trim paint. I don't really like the color in the interior so looks like I will be wrapping it in vinyl afterall. I have some (seriously) paper thin textured vinyl I'm going to stretch over with a heat gun. Should work.

                  Vinyl wrapping was a big failure. Resand, prime and paint I guess

                          I knew I'd seen it before.

                            interesting place for gauges. much more visible than down by the shifter. what senders have you installed to get those gauges functional

                            do you still have your floor and defrost registers open? appears so from your vent settings. what about the two side vents? i find they really help defogging the windows

                              When I see things like that that you do, I feel like a caveman trying to fabricate with stone age technology. AMAZING!

                                and the advantage of this is...........?

                                i always found the clock and temperature to be a nice feature... why eliminate it? just for the sake of being different?
