      I always thought cardinal was a lot brighter. That looks amazing, makes me want to trade out my black interior.

        Hopefully, I'll get a nice Mtech 2 wheel in the future.

        That's the plan. I already have a set I need to pickup, but the driver's side needs to be recovered.

        Damn, our cars would be twins, especially since you are local as well. Cardinal interior was posted for sale here several months back. It was down in VA beach, but luckily I had a friend coming up from NC that picked it up for me along the way up.

        Depends on how you shoot it. I was using a prime lens with a low f-stop and no flash. I think it brings out the natural darker color and makes it look "nicer." If you use flash, it comes out a lot brighter in pictures and looks more plastic like. In reality, it's a little brighter than it looks in my pics, but not by much.

                      coming along nicely, glad you're enjoying it. Cardinal looks great. the journey to get the blue sport interior (and m3 exhaust) was incredible though. D.C. parts trip that incorporated a lengthy 2-6am bike ride (and women).





                      our hotel from 6am-11am, when I was awoken by a car door that turned out to be Joel, who I had met at Watkins Glen years prior and took a lap with him in his euro e21. He then treated us to falafel at his sister's shop he was operating

                      falafel shop had a bit of... ulterior enthusiasm

                      had a bunch of menus from amsterdam under the tables, heh

                                Looks good so far! I've been thinking going the same basic color for the centers on my wheels on a brilliantrot car. I need to figure out what these things are called.
