87-vert interior

This is a before and after shot. custom Italian leather porsche two tone french stitched. swapped out the pearl for black panels and have matched vinyl dye to match the leather seats. Added a alcantara center console arm rest cup holder. dyed the carpets desert tan with duplicolor; added the M-tech 1 wheel but will be replacing it with the nardi 3 spoke wood. along with matching wood interior trim.

[E30m42cab]

On the vert, added Recaro LS's, Nardi/Personal steering wheel, and Blaupunkt Bremen head unit, UUC SSK, UUC clutch stop, and some Momo pedals, and German 6 button OBC faceplate. Other than that, pretty basic.

Are those mats Antracite or black? I have a 92 cabrio w/ black leather, and I want to order a set of BMW mats that matches the floor carpeting like these do... Thanks for the info!

I'm actually kind of proud of mine, so now I'm going to have to take a picture.
