I think the job looks really great, especially the doors, they are a very nice touch with the contrast, brilliant.

That steering wheel is the best looking steering wheel I seen on a crossfire, period. I'm going to see if my upholster can do something like that!

Alcantara is definitely the way to go. Looks sweet.

Steering wheel is way to busy for my taste, a little over board on the faux CF but the center console looks pretty trick

it not only looks good (for my taste) it feels hundred times better than stock.

the leather used in stock steering wheel is the cheapest ive seen and thinnest. I do care about steering wheel maybe just too much, but it was the 1st thing i wanted replaced, but due to some problems it is close to impossible, so i decided to alter it a lil bit.

A couple of the nicest interiors to date! You guys have set the bar very high for the rest of us. I especially love the door panels, great choice of textures. The console and creative steering wheel aren't bad either.

Just dropped off the bottom portion of the dash under steering wheel off. These guys teach me something new everyday. They gave me the option to take off that extra part that's under the dash on the drivers side so I can have an inch of room for my knee's! They said it was really easy, they took off the foam that is in the dash and saw four or five hot glued screws. They said they were just going to have to drill those holes and it would come off easily, but I chose not too. Instead I'm getting a little foam on top of that so it would cushion my knees.

Updates with pictures will follow!

Well guys it's been awhile since I've updated this thread, so thought I'd get it back to life and stop being so lazy and just take the pictures already!

ENJOY!


This is under the drivers side.


Here is the speedometer surrounding.

Put the letter "M32" stands for Mercedes 3.2 liter, probably the most meaningful badge I've seen, idea was from xfirekorea.

And, last but not least, this is my brothers 335i, this is what I compete with everyday.

Your right, the cabin noise is down A LOT.

The M32 is definitely growing on me. I used to get questions concerning what kind of car it is even with the crossfire emblems, I wonder how bad it's going to get with just that.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Get me that company info ASAP! I've been wanting to do this with my vette and after many failed attempts on my own (not a fabric guy) I gave up all hope. Now my prayers have been answered!

And don't I owe you a tune?

What were they able to do with the arm rests on the doors? After a bit of driving my car ends up with a indention where my elbow rests and it's starts to hurt after a while.

Will have pictures real soon! Passenger side seat is done but not installed yet! Reason I didn't do the whole door was I thought it would have looked tacky and too aftermarket. I also wanted some sort of two tone so I just told them to do the middle.

I have the the center console, glove box, and drivers underside installed. It looks beautiful.
