nice and clean dude | | | | | 03-02-2008, 08:19 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Waco/Austin, TX Posts: 233 |
I'll get an interior one tomorrow, but its nothing special. Your standard grey cloth interior. Plus my home made shift knob, which i love. I spent all my money ON the car so no mods in the near future but i do have lots of plans for it! Would like to lower it soon as my suspension needs some refreshment anyway. And to kickass95 amber is the new clear  lol. Thanks for the compliments! __________________ 1997 318ti Schwarz II

i wanna see this homemade shift knob too | | | | | 03-02-2008, 09:10 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Waco/Austin, TX Posts: 233 |
Well you guys asked for it so here it is! My 8 dollar answer to a history of bad shift knobs and my large hand. Take one 4 dollar cue ball (academy), one can of satin black Krylon Fusion paint for plastics and a half inch drill bit and voila! Weighted, comfortable, good looking shift knob.  ps coming soon: black leather shift boot to match And bonus for you guys with vinyl steering wheels like me: I hated the way my steering wheel felt. It was too skinny and the vinyl just wasnt pleasant to the touch. Enter the worlds best steering wheel cover. $8 at wal mart. Looks clean and feels great.
