Turned out awesome.

That houndstooth looks sweet, I could only find it in white and black, and me having an all black car, didn't think it would look too good.. If you did it again would you change anything?

You have to be careful with white - it will get dirty, and can bleed through depending on the material.

Yeah.. I'm gonna keep shopping around and try to find the bigger pattern of houndstooth in grey and black, it looks sweet!

Good luck, take a look online, as well as the stores in your area.

Yay or nay? I thought it looked like a hunter style print and went with the leather and wood pretty well. Might go with something else eventually

Also.. tutorial helped a lot.. thanks OP

^^ looks pretty good to go with the interior......id just do the area around the shift knob....looks really out of place imo.

Good work tho! Looks pretty clean.

I agree - do the plastic around the shift knob, but be very careful as you go as its kind of tricky.

Yes, very helpful - even still... thanks a bunch!

Just did my 2001 330 yesterday, following your DIY instructions pretty exactly... came out phenom - first car wash I went to, the attendant noticed immediately and raved about it.

Really a great way to personalize, and I hope it holds up.
The only really tricky thing about this was the shift boot bezel... took a few tries with the fabric, and also some filing around the window control openings. Other than that, things went together in a matter of a few hours. My husband loves it, too, but his e36 has no wood/plastic trim, so we're thinking of doing the headliner in that.
Anyway, lots of fun.

Here's some pics of the final product... thanks again for the write up.
