    $500??



    Its Peter - from Canada - we spoke a few times already

    and can you switch the foams between the different generations? I'd like larger ones of course
    You have a few things working against you with those - They are gen 2 lx's which are a pita to assemble compared to the later gens and also there is visible foam damage. I would guess around 800.

      DANG! Tacoma, WA!

      I grew up there :)

      Do you do leather wrapping for the e30 dash? I seem some really nice ones from other cars.

      Let me know how much too.

        Just finished these today. Gen 4 LS-C's wrapped in black synthetic with a black recaro logo and red diamonds. We also added heated inserts

            I cant get actual samples of the stuff without ordering a yard. If two or three people want to put 7 dollars or so down on a yard i will cover the balance and send out samples to everyone.

                  The stuff i can get is from an oem replica catalog. It is called cardinal and listed under the bmw section. Its as close to oem as you will find. It is available in leather and vinyl.

                  The yard i would be ordering would be vinyl but it would be good enough for you to compare against the original since the leather would look the same.

                    So in theory, you can get any BMW interior color? What about Chestnut Brown? It's known as Red Brown everywhere else in the world, BMW NA apparently didn't think that was good enough.

                        How much would it cost to redo 2 e30 sport seats in black nappa leather along with the rear seat?
                        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                          Wow I wish you were closer to NJ - Maybe you can quote me a price regardless. I have a Recaro SRD with just a small rip on the drivers bolster and the bottom bolster is a little squashed.

                          Heres a pic :

                            They have all the colors from like 1970-1993.

                            The chestnut brown looks alot like audis tuscan brown and the brown i just did this interior in. Keep in mind the flash made them look alot more orange then they actually are.





                            Here is a pic without the dramatic flash...

                                I would suggest talking to Kevin on here, he does great work and already has patterns for those seats which = money saved for you.
