89 Redone Cabby

[HAWAIIAN821]

New member,want mine to look some of the nice cabbys on this forum,with the body mods..Just got finished redoing my cabby,brand new interior and brand new top.

[King Luis]

damn....very very nice interior. the new top really finishes off the body.
but, you either must lower the car and/or get smaller rims. those make it look like a 4x4.
(where's that picture of the monster truck e30)

Seats are georgous, wheels make me dry heeve a little.
Who recovered the seats?

[HAWAIIAN821]

thanx,i wanted to do the exterior before i start the body mods and so on,theres an older man here in orlando that did it for $1200,a bit pricey,i think,but he did an awesome job,heated seats still work,which i was supprised after the job..i want to lower the car but dont know what to get?any suggestions? i have 19's on there now,(got them cheap as hell) and my bottlecaps are all curb checked.i want to lower my car ASAP if anyone knows where to get the cheapest springs,shocks/struts,thanx in advance

i am new to the BMW family but anyone know where i can get this front bumper to fit my car, or what year this is off of?i hope BCMIKE dont mind if i use his car..

Well, I assume for $1,200 he used leather, which it looks like in the pic, so that is right around the going rate not to mention its one of the better recovering jobs Ive seen. Also looks like he used the M3 stitch pattern which is even better!
Edit: Or is it vinyl??

The horizontal stiching was used in 325iC's from the factory along with the M3.

Super sexy seats....Mmmmm

You do need to lower it! Going to get a nose bleed its so high..

Dont just lower it for the hell of it, you will hate the ride quality if you go cheap. Bounce like a trampoline.
Invest in some decent springs/shocks.
-H&R makes a great spring.
Look in the classifieds.

Interesting. Why in the iC's and not all e30's I wonder?

I honestly think that $1200 is a good deal for a high quility job like that. The seats look AWESOME.
The car pictured has M-tech II kit. Originals are rare and very expensive. There are some fiberglass knock off's too

[S14sx2nr]

Agreed, the interior looks good! I also think you need smaller wheels however, those look kind of rediculous...

Interior is fucking amazing. Can't get down with 19's and stock height though.

[GaryE30]

I say go with M-Tech I. You're car will look amazing MT1.

[Widm3r]

MT1, and some rs's or rm's, would equal one of the cleanest cabbies
