Larry you are seriously on a mission . Looks good , the quality is top topnotch , I was gonna leather out my dash but I found out that the good glue became illegal due to it's chemicals and my installer was weary on using the available alternatives , so I'm at a stand point =\ but it looks good enjoy !

No offense but it's a trainwreck. Pastel green calipers on one side and pastel blue on the other? The silver trim clashes with the rest of the interior. the stitching looks orange, it doesn't match the leather - perhaps that's just the camera? The bulldog floor mats, seriously? And the M stripes on the door trim? It's way too random and thrown together.
That said the actual quality of the interior work w/ the alcantara looks well done. I just don't care for the randomness of it all. |

As much as I like alcantara, I hate it for certain areas. The roof lining and partial seats are ok. The dash is too overboard.
Please don't take this the wrong way. Just trying to point somethings out. It kinda reminds me of the 1960's or 70's with the thick carpeted dash and fuzzy dice. |

I like the general idea. In photos, it looks a bit fury. I was honestly thinking "pimp" when I saw it but not cheesy pimp; cool pimp like Snoop. However, I will reserve judgement. If your exterior is a good way to evaluate your tastes, then I assume it looks amazing in person.

I think you went a bit overboard on the interior - too many colors clash in there as a few have said but hey as long as you like it.
I do like the floormats Do you have 2 different color Brembo's on opposite sides of the car? I really like the Green but again your wheels caps have the OEM BMW color which clash. You should change the blue portions of the badge to green ~ now that would look more uniform. rick

Can you get me Top Stitches email. I want a price on having a steering wheel covered/stiched. Thanks.
We carbon fiber steering wheels so I need a high quality upholster to do the wheels. |

Oh and most that see my car in person don't even recognize that the wheels and calipers are different on each side. It is only in back to back pictures that you can easily see the two sides. Keep in mind that you can only ever see two wheels at a time. Quote:

Thanks! I still have them and they will have a test fit this weekend as my rubber arrives tomorrow! Quote:

The camera I used is just a point and shoot. I also used the flash to show more of the detail, but I think the colors came out whack. If seen in person it looks much better IMO. I need to score a DSLR. Quote:

Thanks! I thought about red but thought that would just have been too much. I considered the dash in red leather to match the seats, but thought that would have been too much. Maybe someone else will try that. Thanks! Thanks! Quote:
I love how the mats turned out too! Keep in mind they can do any logo or text you want. Quote:

I give you props Larry for taking all the positive and negative criticism in stride. Nice attitude!
As far as the color digital cameras want to make black a midtone or grey color. The flash makes it worse. If you have exposure compensation you can take care of this or just shoot in manual mode. You need to under expose basically a largely black scene to accurately reproduce black. The same thing happens with white but just the opposite.

Why purple?I think it would've looked great if the alcantara was black to match the carpet and with titanium shadow trim.I like the floor mats tho.
