This build thread was revived and it is quite impressive. Those seats look amazing!

Some one off for my one off:




And some polishing took place:

[hi its me alec]

This is insane. Thanks for sharing!

To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of that back seat (looks a little 'bitch' to me) but the car is spectacular regardless.

I didn't know a throttle body could get so polished out. Did you sand it at all?

[uvebeenrobd]

Thanks, I guess? I'm not sure how to take your comment...lol. The back seat is the stock M5 rear, it's just been reupholstered. Yes, some sanding was involved with the throttle body.

Played hookie from work today so I could waste more of my life away in the garage. Brakes are on & back on all fours:



Got the rear seats in: Crappy cell phone pics

Was going to start putting the front in then realized I didn't like how the pillars were peeling so a re-wrap is in order:







Almost done:


Also painted the throttle lever on the throttle body to match the other brackets I had powdercoated in gloss black:
