Those gotta be the most expensive interior piece to replace, glad they turned out!

Really? Why is that? And yes I as glad they held together. Adhesives that would work with such an odd combinations are very slim and I was worried about any chemical type of bond could have melted the foam..  Glad I didn't have to find out.

I remember looking for used ones 8 years ago and it wouldve been around $3-400 for a good pair. They all split over time and probably haven't been available through the dealer forever.

Sounds right on par with everything else on this damn car.

So I spent more time last night removing tint adhesive. I have two windows left now. Im trying to do it little by little for a few reasons. 1. Its a lot of rubbing, scrubbing, and wiping and its exhausting. 2. the fumes from both the window tint glue and the lacquer thinner that it takes to remove it is overpowering even with a nice quality mask.

I also installed the rear covers on their hinges and took some interior shots (sorry they are so dark) to share with you guys because @P_Roloff Said I didn't share any.

My favorite and one of the most oddly obnoxious things on this car is the stainless door sills...

And some temping before and after pictures of RS's in 16's and what they look like stepped to 18's

That interior is AWESOME!! And looks to be in great shape too.

Thanks!! Yeah Its in good shape. theres a few things that I need to address yet but its getting there. It sucks all the drivers seats tear like that.

those stepped RS look great, but at $2500 for just the lip/barrels, ouch.

I can get Lips and barrels for $1200 shipped right now.... thus why im considering it.

[P_Roloff]

I love the interior, those sills are pretty different!

And I really like those RS’s stepped, I’d say go for it. I’d imagine that they’d sell for a lot more if you ever got rid of them if they were stepped and cleaned up a bit.

[m42b32]

I actually really like the 16's, with the right stance and some meaty tires they could look awesome

[YoungCR]

Agreed on the 16"s

[jc43089]

16" is the way to go.  Too big doesn't look quite right on old cars in my opinion.

[Earl]

I don't mind 18's on e24's but 17's are the perfect size to me. 16's just always look a hair small and oddly they look smaller when you lower the car. 

17's for comparison to above=)

[Earl]

The massive slant lips don't help make the 18's look any smaller. These Kinesis are 18's but don't quite look as large.

[Earl]

Might as well throw in a picture of how small 16's look too. Ignore the miles of wheel gap lol

[straight6pwr]

so i'm thinking m70 twin turbo would fit nicely under the hood.

[Jdesign]

Those tires are soooo small on the 16's @Earl LOLOLOL

Im picking up the set of 17 style 5's tonight so I will be right in between.

You stop that. 

But I like your idea......

But for consistency sake, I would probably put something non-BMW in there.

That steering wheel looks oddly similar to an 80s bikini bottom.
