Look at what can be done with too much spare time. Nice job. Wonder what you will take on in retirement. Also why factory colors if going through all that work?

Believe me, I do not have spare time... It was motivation and dedication that I had to finish this. I had to work on this project every night till 1 or 2am after work to the point that my wife was already starting to complain. I wanted to keep the OEM look vs having something too radical. I like the way it is. Simple and decent!

Updates:

I woke up early this morning (5AM) and thought that I was up too early for work so I started to put the front seats back together... I am very happy to say that I am finally done with this project! I will take better photos this weekend once I have the car fully detailed! Thanks for all your comments and help! Surely this is a great forum to get help and learn things from! If you guys have any questions, just pm me and I would be happy to help you out!

SEAT PUT BACK TOGETHER

Great job brother! I commend you and your efforts. Well worth the time it took.

Looks even better installed. How many hours total? What a dumbass quoting himself

You should post some before and after photos in a row so people can see the amazing job from begin to end on one post. I give you credit because not many of us would know where to start or have the guts to take the whole interior apart. Excellent work!

Thanks! I will post before and after photos once I do the photoshoot.

Congratulations!

This is probably the nicest color change process I've ever seen. The leather & interior looks like it came this was from the factory, and I wouldn't know any better that it didn't if I didn't see this thread.

My hat's off to you. You did great work, and it looks fantastic.

Color looks spot on. Good work.

Looks awesome!!! keep us updated on how well it wears. I know I'm interested in that.

I payed Brian a visit this morning and can say from seeing his work first hand, it was done right! I was given the opportunity to drive his pristine ///M today and the seats felt great and the dye did not rub off onto my jeans. All the prep and work Brian painstakingly took showed here. Absolutely amazing outcome and for those who were skeptical earlier... if you were at Brian's house and saw his car in person, I don't think you will be as skeptical afterwards. Big props to Brian for doing this project and documenting it here and over at M3Forum.net. Thanks for the invite to give you a hand on this project and well done brother!!!!!
