From Ashy to Slightly Classy

[Will_318i]

So yesterday was a good day for my car and I. It started off by me waking up @ 6:30am to leave my house by 7am to get to Ontario by 8am to pick up some interior. Then it was followed up by driving back from Ontario to North Hills by 9:30am to get my suspension, brakes and interior installed. It was a long day, but totally worth it. Big ups to Lifestyle 101 on helping me on this install. He taught me alot yesterday about my car, and can't thank him enough. BTW, he is a complete e30 HOARDER!!! He has 6 freaking e30's and all of them are the shit. Now on with the pics...

My car when I first got her in December 09... VERY ASHY...

New Interior installed...



Car after new suspension installed...




I'm extremely happy with the way my car turned out. I love the drop that I got from the suspension technique springs. Black interior turned out great as well. I couldn't have done this without Lifestyle 101, his expertise made my car get to what it is now. A better photo session will be in the works soon. I was just so damn tired after yesterday I took these half ass pics. Enjoy!

Looks great. I can't tell you how happy I am that you lowered the car properly before getting new wheels.

A lowered car will always look better on stock wheels than a stock height car on new wheels. ALWAYS.

Great step for your car man!
It is well on its way!

Looks great and thanks for quoting Biggie from "Sky's the limit." If you did actually quote him...

Wait. So you took out Recaros to put in comfort seats?

Nice job on the low.

I did take out the recaros for the comfort seats. The other seats were jacked up. The passenger side was broken and it wouldn't slide back and forth. The driver side had the same problem. But also, the cushions were jacked up to. Made my lower back hurt after driving for a while. And yes, I know I could have got the seats redone, but the price I would have paid for that would have been double for what I got all those new black pieces for. $140 + a drive to ontario for the black interior. So I'm happy with what I got now.

looks great man!

The car came out really good and looks completely different than when you picked up the interior from me. I'll let you know when I find a black rear seat.

I don't know why people are having a heart attack about the Recaros ... I would rather have a clean/working comfort set than frozen/broken sports any day and IMHO totally worth the $140 bucks. You can sell the Recaros and pay for the whole black interior.
