Where do you get vinyl to wrap interior panels? ---

Good choice. My wife is driving a 530i with the M sport package. What are you doing with the Style 5 wheels originally on the car? Using them for summer tires? Let me know if you are going to sell them. ---

the only reason the vinyl roof looks out of place is because the rest of the car has little to no exterior mods that stand out. It will look great once a few more agressive parts make it’s way onto the car. ---

I personally like the wood interior in my e90, sets it off nicely with the black leather interior (yes, I have the real dakota leather/premium pkg). I know a lot of people like the vinyl CF interior, you did a nice job, it’s just not my style. It looks great and nice condition, good purchase. ![http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs189.snc1/6336_138218043272_594333272_3112534_8364704_n.jpg](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs189.snc1/6336_138218043272_594333272_3112534_8364704_n.jpg) ---

^ The only wood interior i can appreciate is the ebony wood…which finally the e90 has! Absoultely gorgeous…other then that, i am not a fan of the wood. I do however like it in my Range Rover, but it has a satin finish. ---

I’ve come to the realization that modding your DD is pointless. Honestly the money and time you spent on this will be ill to none recognized / appreciated by 98% of people or ever recouped. I guess it really isn’t worth it in my eyes unless the car is going to be something special to you. It looks nice, but not really any more nice then it did stock in my eyes. Nice car though man! I need appliances hook me up… pm me your site… looking to get a fridge, washer and dryer! ---

How long does that vinyl last? Do you worry about it fading the paint under it? It looks really nice on the car, I just wonder how durable it is. ---

These are quick changes that i expect from the PepBoys shoppers, except these are still subtle. The “good” work actually takes time. Unfortunately, my life priority changes have reduced my time spent on the good DIY’s. > > **edit:** > > oh yeah… the wood is/was real. I kind of figured and don’t blame you. Real wood huh.

Other than Piano black wood the only BMW’s that can have wood interior are pre 1975. Otherwise, EW. ---
