I kept reading you say "NBT retrofit" and didn't want to look like a noob asking what you meant; now I know!
. I was the same way for the longest time.
Hello Sir.
This car looks just fantastic!
Please don't ruin the car!

You go through cars so quick it is hard to keep up! Can't wait to see those Arc 8's on an E38, never seen one with them before. Thanks for linking the build threads.

.Tom.'s E38 with them
Wow that looks great, thanks for posting! Those wheels pretty much look great on everything.

Agreed. I obviously love them since I have them on my touring but when I saw .Tom.'s car pictured, I was sold on how they look mounted on the E38 as well and almost immediately ordered another set
In!!!!!!
Thanks! I agree and feel that it's my favorite body style of all BMW's. I will definitely be keeping the M pars for cold weather driving.
All the interior is being delivered to Brian (Redshift) with fibrenew who will be dyeing everything. Very excited to post some updates but he has other work in line too so might be a bit. I got the Alpina front lip. It's an eBay replica from Latvia but it looks very nice. Going to see if my body guy will consider removing the logo and making that smooth but that will depend on the cost..

I've been away catching up on life and such. Isn't this done yet? Come on fellas, I know what you're all capable of doing :P LOL!
Haha, it's still in Charlotte.

So what functions will you eventually have in the NBT? or what will you be missing?

I will post up more details once I get the car.
Some photos Brian sent me.
looking good just curious how do the door panels reassemble? do you use a very strong adhesive?

Thanks! Much of the panels are fastened with nuts but some pieces will need to be plastic welded back together. Brian with Fibrenew is doing all of that.
I have ordered all the OE parts that needed attention
black floor mats
CPS
ABS sensor
cowl panel
engine bay rubber seals
C pillar/drip rail trim with new rubber
passenger side headlight cover
Thanks for the info your project inspires me to finish my 7

E38 door panels are extremely modular. You can mix and match colors in all sorts of combos.
