    some before and after shots

    picked up my first E30 over the summer. 1988 325 sedan. anyway the interior was lacking. it had the non-sport seats in black vinyl. picked up a set of red sport seats at a local junkyard for the cheap.

    Before:






    After:








    the brackets on the bottom of the sport seats are a lil rusty, i'm going to wire brush em and hit them w/ some black paint once it warms up out. other than that the drivers seat seat-back is hanging off so i'm gonna have to repair that as well. picked up alacantara shift and e-brake boots from http://www.carartunlimited.com/

    just need a nice momo wheel to complete the interior now

    That looks REALLY wierd without the cardinal door panels to go with the seats. They look very out of place. I don't like it.

      yeah to each his own. i'm thinkin of getting the seats re-wrapped black bolsters and alacantara centers in grey or something, we'll see i think the red looks pretty good

      on a side note does anyone know if the sedans came w/ cardinal interiors? if i don't get the seats re-wrapped maybe i could pick up some panels?

            red door pulls would be sweet. But i say just get black floor mats, that will really pull it together. I think it looks better than before, even now, i hate non sports.

              I think it looks fine. red, tan, black, whatever - I'd rather sit in sport seats than the standard E30 seat any day!

              black floor mats would help a lot tho
