Do you have a similar kit installed Mike?...

[PieterVN]

Yeah, i love this color too. I've seen quite a bit of Brilliant red, Diamantschwarz and silver iS's over here, but only seen one other blue one.. maybe it was more expensive from factory or '80's people...

Hey guys, any updates on reproducing the original seals? With the cloth lining? Would love a set for my 2-door.

Those are some beautiful pictures Mike! You must be very proud of you daughter.
