i really like them, my @$$ used to go numb in the stock seats after about 4 hours worth of driving in this it takes the pressure of that area lol. in addition these are really nicely bolstered and you stay in one place! for stock seats the tc has amazingly bolstered seats but they do not compare to the momo's. im rreallt happy with them, only complaint is climbing in and out!

Hi guys, just a quick update, i had painted the interior with a rattle can in yellow, however it was chipped in a few places and i chose to wrap the interior with yellow carbon fiber wrap. I had a few issues and took HOURS lol, mostly cause im spaz with things like this, im just a few weeks away from new rims and getting into serious modding. The next move will be for an LSD!

Wait you swapped an S54 into an E46? Why not just buy an M? Regardless, props! I come from the world of swapping BMW's (E34 to be exact).

tC looks good!

It was hard to get an m3 in canada for the money that i was willing to pay, the swap made it cheaper to buy a 330ci and then add the engine rather than buy an m3.....in addition i could get insured on an m3 due to my fantastic driving record and my fetish for crashing into parked objects.

So the scratch is right by the rear wheel, is there any way to get behind the panel and knock out the dent before i go and get it painted and cleaned up.

Ouch! Dude just charge it to the game and take it to a shop. Or you can get your insurance company involved but there will be the matter of the deductible. In any case, this won't be a slight touch up paint job. Good luck

To do it right probably a new quarter panel and a skirt. Maybe any other miscellaneous parts that could be missing or broken too. Good luck.

i got a bunch of quotes today ranging from 400 to 2800, so in the end decided to take the best offer for what they planned on doing. Im paying 800, but at only 25 bucks an hour labour in exchange for beer (im a territory manager for a beer co.)
