Not feeling the BMW shoulder pads in the back...

thanks...haha there's a reason why they're in the back than the front....it was given to me by my younger brother so i'll just leave it in the back.

Yep, everything is OEM. The front seats were the easiest to remove, 4 screws and detach the wires. The front side panels were a pain because of all the clips/screws then you have to detach the wiring for the windows/speaker. The last PIA was the top rear seat, removing the screw was the easy part but then you have to wiggle/pull the seats apart then putting it back in was difficult too.

Thanks guys it definitely does make the car "pop". The black on black was just too plain and i needed something with contrast. I'm so in

with the interior.
