sick project tim, with the bezel, why not get some panel off a car someone is parting and use the leather off that. it will be a perfect match that way with color and texture.

Funny you should mention that. I was just talking to some people at the BMWCCA meeting last night about doing that. I am posting a thread in the classifieds today looking for a 16"x8" peice of leather from a dashboard....
Thanks for the advice!!
edit....
Just found this on ebay.... It is an E36 center console, made from real leather ($22) They have them for the E46 also. It should match correct? Does anyone know the dimensions of one of these? Who has an E36 and a tape measure??
ehh ive noticed the leather on other bmw is a little different then my M. surely someone has to be parting an M which you can scoop up a door panel from, that would have more then enough leather. the door panels rarely sell, so it should work in your favor.
I am now searching on this site and ebay for some M5 parts that would be big enough to source this leather from.....
If anyone stumbles across anything, PLEASE let me know!!!! Thanks!!

I got the majority of the speaker box built today. I had planned on mounting the woofers magnet out, and reversing their polarity because I think the magnet side of the woofer is much more attractive than the cone side. But after building the box and test fitting it in the car, I don't think they will fit in the space provided magnet out, so I will just mount them cone out.
I have changed my trunk set up after seeing escarolo's install. I am going to utilize some of the small pockets under the floor cover for my component crossovers and power distribution. I plan to mount both of my amps in the old amp/nav/cd changer location and mount both of my dvd/cd changers to the rear deck.
I decided to re-vamp my trunk design and mount the amps in the factory location with a modified factory amp rack. Since I work in a factory, I have virtually an unlimited supply of stainless steel, and access to a tig welder and other fabricating equipment. So I did a little reconstruction of the factory mount.
