Interior Decisions...

[LINUS]

Pics? I'd love to see what it looks like and I don't feel like searching.

I don't have installed photos yet, but it's pretty much the same as a Sport Evo, just black instead of grey for the bolstered area. I've got that darker color charcoal carpet, & all the Sport Evo cards with the black vinyl edges, so in my mind the black bolsters look better than the OEM ones.

I'm in the middle of a lot of other stuff right now, but I should have finished pics of my entire car up by Christmas, and everything except paint done by the next E30 Picnic.

I feel your pain on being in the middle of a lot of stuff. I have a trunk full of parts to put on, and I keep starting various small projects and never finishing them. I have so many loose ends to tie up...ahh!

I love your seats, they look awesome. Seriously...beautiful. I can't wait to see them installed.

I went to the upholstery shop this afternoon and got a quote. He can't get the Cinnamon colored leather, so that's out for sure. Probably a good thing. He said it'd be $1400 to redo my front and rear seats in matching factory leather. Definitely doable, I just need to save my pennies for a few months. I'm excited though, it's going to look great when it's finished.

I just found this in a Google search. Interesting. Not my taste, but definitely interesting.

That dash/center console is badass. Not as much the color but the fact that it was done in leather. I have been thinking of doing the same down the road but with black leather, ie think old L6 or L7.... Just my thinking but it would require me to tear the dash out again so its not going to happen anytime real soon for sure....

I asked the guy at the upholstery shop about doing the center console in black leather. He said they wouldn't do it because of the time involved in making the leather fit correctly, and because he doesn't think it will hold up well. I don't think this particular shop does much custom work, but what they do is extremely high quality, and they have a great reputation, so I trust his opinion. I have to admit, though, this interior looks GREAT:

Damn now thats what I am wanting to do in the future minus the woodgrain accents. And hey thats the steering wheel I already have but instead of the woodline mine is the blackline(black leather wrapped). Exactly what I had in mind. Where the hell are you coming up with these pictures of e30 interiors from ? I have not searched alot for them but just have never seen them period.......

[kellie]

It's perfect, huh? I found those pictures on a German eBay auction that Dusty posted awhile back. It was exactly what I want to do, so I saved them. The orange dash picture was from a random Google search for E30 interiors.

I have something similar to cinnamon, not oem though.

Here is an interior pic of my car with tan interior & black door pulls & cards

[kellie]

And black floormats! That looks gorgeous, it's exactly the look I'm going for. Thank you for the inspiration! :)

srsly, i love the natur interior. i redid mine (fabric) and fell in love with it again. Now i see more pics, i NEED to dye my door pulls and cards black. not sure about the floor mats though.

[Bimmerista]

Almost every car I've ever owned, regardless of interior color, I got black OEM mats for it. Floormats get dirty really quickly if its a lighter color, at least this way, I'm less self-concious.
