Well I got these seats from Craigslist yesterday, I have been keeping an eye out for some as the seats I had in there need to be redone...

Waddya think?

And should I do the steering wheel??

I can't decide...

nice! i would go with a nice nardi wheel since it seems you're going more for a modern look on the interior with the seats. also, at the same time, replace the shift knob with one that matches the steering wheel. my $0.02

Yea, that knob is bugging me.....

I'll give you $5 plus shipping for it....

Brian,

The seats look great, they fit in well with the rest of the car.

I like what you've done with the appearance. The ground effects, mirrors, nice wheels/tires and how you've blacked out some of the trim. Looks nice and agressive!

Looks great! I'd definitely get a black shift knob. Love the look of your car. What size and brand of tire are you running on it?

Brian's tires are Toyo Proxes 4. Since he lives here in the NW also, he got them at Les Schwab. I have those same tires in 225/45-17 on our family sedan ('96 328i). Very pleased with them.

I think his rims are 15" but don't know that for certain.

I think a Nardi wheel is too old school to match those seats. Maybe a Momo wheel would look better. I have one in my 240K, doesn't suit the car at all.

^ya, amomo wheel would look good. FWIF, i didn't mean the classic nardi wheel (a la porsche, ferrari, etc.) more along these lines:

and then be mated with one of these shift knobs:

JMHO

I like that steering wheel at the top, I am sure that I don't want to know the price...

What size and brand of tire are you running on it?

Those are 205/55/15 Proxes 4 on 15x7 Hayashi rims.

I am really happy with those tires...

THANKS BRUCE!!!

It's no show winner for sure, it has it's share of typical Z issues, the paint although is not too bad really needs to be redone due to "crows feet" on the hood from bad prepping from the last apint job... And I need to replace the dog legs for sure, that is a (hopefully) spring project.

It's a 10/10 car, 10 feet of 10 MPH...

I am still thinking about switching back to the chrome bumpers as I have a set... Opinions??

on your car i think that the black bumpers fit the style well. IMO your car is a case when the chrome bumpers wouldn't look as nice. i really like your setup as well - everything goes together nicely

Two votes for the mesh wheels!!

Hayashi mesh wheels are like fine jewelry. It's a shame that style is not more popular.

Next time I would go for a bit bigger tire like a 225/50/15. I think you would like the larger footprint. Even with a 1" drop my '78 280Z doesn't rub or complain--with 15x7 ARE mesh wheels.
