      Car looks amazing. It looks like you changed tire size when you put the spaces one. What size tires where on the Style 19's when you first got them on, and what size tire are on there now?

            how did you dye the interior?
            Thank you, and I found a company called colors on parade that does it. They did a really good job in my opinion.

              I would love to do all of the above, If I come across any of the parts here locally I would jump on em. But thank you.

                I still have it, its sitting on the side yard right now. Part of me wants to put it on because it would make me look balls low, but the other part doesn't want me to wreck it on driveways and such

                              Little update/story

                              My car came to me with an open diff, which didn't bother me too much as it's my daily. But anyways, a couple weeks ago, after getting stuck getting into my driveway, in the pouring rain (rear tire with the power flexed off of the ground and my skid plate was wedged on the side walk) I decided to look into getting an LSD. I looked them up and was finding them for a couple or few hundo and not local. Shoot. So I kinda forgot about it, then a couple days later I was bored and walking through pick n pull looking around for an e28 hoping for one of those "I found a goldmine of a car at the wrecking yard" stories I have read about. Anyways I came across a 528e, I grabbed some door felt that was in good shape, and decided what the heck, and spun one of the back wheels...I looked across the car and to my surprise, the other was spinning the same way. Whaaaat..? I promptly pulled it out, and for $94, I have a 3.25 LSD.

                              No more getting stuck in the driveway

                                Hey thanks man, and I took a couple of the finished product in the car (as I didn't take any pictures during the process ) but you basically, pull the original stut housing apart and cut everything off but 2 inches on the very bottom. Then you slide the provided sleeve over that 2 inch piece of strut housing, and weld. Once its all welded on, you just thread the coilover strut and spring assembly into the sleeve and lock it on with the lock ring, then reassemble like normal. The rears just go in the same as a normal strut. It wasn't bad at all.

                                If you look close you can see the bead right at the top of the cast part.
