Wow! Black looks so good even without the belt trim. Given they did a lot more mechanical & etc. than some body shops would do, price seems very fair.

They are in Norfolk, VA; fairly cheap rates found here
The door panels are still off. They need to do the locks also. I never found that access point that you all referenced for the belt-line nut near the c-pillar. I just used my apparently-small-hands to access from the trunk. I don't have a '74 with those support fins in the trunk.
Every time I see those BBS RS with the waffles and nuts missing I twitch a little. I can't wait to see them beautified. Your car looks amazing Scott!
It’s hard to see in the video (especially because the car is black) but is the thin black rubber trim that goes under the door and rear side window chrome sills missing? They might still be on the table with all the other misc items yet to be installed.
Thanks. Should I used BBS stickers or BMW for center of wheels?
Not sure. Can you show me a picture? I'm not quite sure precisely where this goes.
I would do black BBS just because your car is slightly modified and it is vastly apparent that it is a BMW. Also, they aren’t stickers. there are three prongs on the back that hold them to the nut.
Yes, that’s the missing trim ( probably some sort of plastic vinyl actually) .
Scott, I checked your first video posted and it was on the car when you drove it in and by the way....... what a transformation!

It's looking great, Scott! With the belt trim on, the black is even better - so good it is making me ponder my recent decision to take my car back to its original Polaris. I might just have to look at yours when I need a black coupe fix.
I agree. I was wondering whether Black was the best color for the vehicle but I think because it looks so good with the silver and chrome it’s perfect.It's looking great, Scott!

You'll get no argument from me. May the Schwartz be with you...
Looks absolutely spectacular! Can't wait until Monday to see the 'picking up & driving impression' video.
Paint is too shiny! I don’t ever want to see a reflection of you in those Magnum PI shorts again!

I will look for it tomorrow when I head to the shop. You guys are incredibly detailed oriented. Thank you. I never would’ve noticed.
Black is a beautiful color on the E9. I would lose my mind trying to keep it clean. White is hard enough.
My father in law said "you never have to wash a silver car" and he didn't
I love the combination of black with a beige leather interior.- really classy.
On the outside the silver trim line and especially the wing grilles (fender grilles) show well against the black paint.
And those wheels are terrific!
All in all a very impressive car.
