Another busy day for me... Got the brakes finished last night... So today I put the car back on the ground... I then did a pretty solid detail. Not the full 110%, but I did do a compound and then followed it with a nice coat of wax. The car feels and looks amazing though, and I removed pretty much all of the blemishes I had my sights on... Of course, being alpine white, it still looks the same...

So, after 4 days on jackstands, I finally got ready to test drive and check the new brakes... Of course, it was threatening rain, and I am NOT ruining my fresh detail... Until tomorrow...

Yup. They come with everything you'll need to put them in the car. I already had the pads on the floor of the car since I had floor mats already so I just reused them. the mats have their own pads on them as well.

When I go to replace my mats, I was going to get the custom embroidered ones from bavAuto for $125 and have them say "ZHP" :)

I just need a new set of mats because the Velcro backing in mine is gone.

Yea I ripped the Velcro off of mine because it was causing issues. Such a terrible design. Glue the Velcro to some weak foamy cover? Lame

Lol!

I believe they make a set with holes for hooks that keep it in place. I wish that was more popular in the model run.

I think only the all weather mats use the hooks, I've never seen a velour E46 set with them
