That custom steering wheel is a nice little detail.

Yeah but he would be buying a used interior for about $1k versus getting a custom reupholstered interior costing $5k+ that only hurts the value of the car.

I think his touring would have been a better candidate for a custom interior since it is already non-original and has the Individual paint, the right interior may help the value on that car (not to say I don't love the black, just that if he were to do custom I think that would be a better choice)

edit: As far as I can tell, RVAE never expressed any interest at any point in anything other than OEM interiors, why are custom interiors still being shared?

This might be a good idea, that way but this is a finished car, its a masterpiece

I thought its a forum, we talking, discussing. It is a bad?

[BimmerBreaker]

Its okay to discuss ideas, but it seems a bit like spam when its made over many separate posts vs. just one post. And when it is off-topic from the original thread it is considered hijacking the thread which I'm not sure if its against the rules per se but is not considered good etiquette. A separate thread discussing E39 custom interior options would be an appropriate place for such a discussion; a thread in which a single member is discussing his restoration of his car may not be the ideal place for this discussion

[NordmanMg]

I don't mean to drop any spam here, sorry about that.

[RuskiE39]

A little over kill on the interior...

[RVAE34]

I did consider custom (cinnamon) but it's too much money. This is what I want. Only I want to keep my black carpet. Never liked caramel carpet with this interior option. If I don't end up finding a nice caramel interior before long, I will probably sell it to buy a car that has it. And then put the birch anthracite trim in whichever car that may be.

[NordmanMg]

That will be a great color combo, black top and bottom and caramel seats with black trim/covers behind backrests

[Johal E32]

Awesome build! Which model air compressor do you use for painting??

[BimmerBreaker]

Caramel interior with black carpet and black seat bases looks great... like this but caramel.



That is the Champagne interior. I really like it, I would take it over Caramel in a heartbeat but its extremely rare (2-3 in the whole US, only 1 in "extended leather" like pictured above).

[NordmanMg]

Wooooh, i never seen this color before

[RVAE34]

Wow!! That looks great too!

I just pulled all the tint off the windows. Looks a lot better IMO. I love that pattern that nice clean tint free rear glass has. I will post some photos once my mirrors arrive tomorrow.

Thats why i'm holding off on tinting my windows... I like the clean look of no tint.

Have you considered a clear tint? They make tints that are clear but that also reflect UV rays, giving you the best of both worlds in a sense. They aren't as efficient as the real tint stuff but its better than nothing if you need it

[Aryana]

The Nigel Marsten privacy shades are so much better than tint...check em out.

I have seen those and may consider. Tinius has them (the guy I bought my touring from).

I use an 80 gallon compressor from Lowe's. It's over 10 years old and I cannot recall the brand. It's red. But I had these bumpers done at Brown's VW/Jaguar here in town because I know the manager.

Looking good!
