I bet it took you like 5 tries to get that pic. I finally put my camera on self-timer and set it on the steering wheel with my hands off. It still wouldn't quite focus properly. And also, we all know what color the amber gauges are, but in your picture they came out a lot lighter for the same reason my blue gauges keep coming out light in the pics. I don't get it. If I use the flash, I lose the effect. You guys have to see it in person. The best way I could describe it is, well sit in a VW at night and you'll understand. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 12-21-2007, 02:28 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | nice, I like the embroidered headrests, how much was that?

(or is it even embroidered?) | no its not. i wish it were. i've never checked into how much it is and i dont even know if its possible. one of the other member of the forum gave me the wheel emblems and i put them on there. its clean, no glue or whatever showing the emblems are clean. i liked how it came out. its cheap and may look odd but i like it. no one else has it, so just thought to do it.

I would say that the worst part in my opinion would be the ebay corners. They look cheap and OEM clears or the stock ambers would look much better. And I dont wanna burst your bubble but I dont think your the first one to put roundels on your headrests. But its your car, do what makes you happy. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 12-21-2007, 07:55 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | i am a huge fan of alaska blue! i wish mine was alaska blue! looks great! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 12-21-2007, 09:36 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 | i like everything but those blue fogs loll keep it up bro __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last A friend is someone who is willing to step into a flame to save you........aka a 318ti | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 2 (0 members and 2 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
