    '89 325i

    Car is a '89 325i,
    bought the car bone stock except tint,
    started with about 195k miles,
    0 car experience before this, learning as I go.

    started with a few basic maintenance items



    cut housing 1.5in and welded on GC perch





    my best friend

    got a (useless) large tool box

    2nd trunk light



    new z3 shifter with bushings, window switches & boot




    Car had non-premium sound
    used JL 10w6v2
    OEM premium rear speakers
    front Infinity reference 5030cs


    used some spacers to make sure the kick panel does not hit speaker

    1in pvc as a housing for the tweeters in OEM tweeter pods


    installed z3 rack and modified steering knuckle


    got pulled over for tint so got an extra set of front windows to swap over when needed



    got some wheels and this is were the car is now

      Are the front visors just a "slip" of fabric, or is spray adhesive also used?

                        My original plan was to use fabric spray but the material was not that thick and did not want the glue to absorb in, so it is 100% slip on.

                              nicely done, visors and shift boot not my taste, but hey it's your car. A front lip should do wonders for the stance
