christ, you must have spent a boatload on that interior swap.

Also, I like the wood covers, but they don't match the matte wood elsewhere in the interior.

ambitious project, but looks good so far (minus the wheels)

If you read my posts it says that all wood will be replaced with the glossy wood.

Oh you dont like the wheels? I was so unsure my self. I guess I sell them if they dont look good on the car. I only seen them on a W216 and they looked really good on that one.

Do you have a good place to order the leather from? I'm looking to get the leather for the drivers seat back.
