- painted my front grille black
- installed suede fabric in the headliner/A Pillars

Also, if you can find out, check out "Chalkboard Paint." A buddy of mine just used this to black out the grills on his ZHP, and it looks really sleek. Just be sure to use any flat black, glossy paint doesn't really match up to the trim as much. Another thing to take into consideration, is to be prepared to respray the grills every few months. They chip easy! -chris __________________

needle, how does the napa trim paint last? does it weather stones, etc? be nice if the stuff lasted, but considering the rest of my car is stone chipped after 207k, i guess it wouldn't be that big a deal  __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I made an airbox and a shift boot. And to anyone thinking about making a shift boot, DON'T. It came out nice on my 135th try. | | | | | |
