B8 Carbon Fiber Trim Production – part 5
Resin has been applied to the beltline pieces. Its currently 74F in the shop, so it should only take 3-4 days for it to fully cure. Hopefully it won’t get any colder and slow things down.

B8 Carbon Fiber Trim Production – part 4
I apologize for the poor quality of this next round of pictures, but the lighting is poor in the warehouse and these are about as good as they will get. After I get some resin on them, I can move them into better light and take better photos.

Got the fiber down on the beltline, I’ll do the dash pieces and shifter piece on Monday.

No turning back now. The aluminum is glued on a lot differently than the B6/B7 aluminum trim and was a HUGE hassle to remove. Can probably get some fiber on in the next day or two.

Finally got my hands on a full set of B8 trim, so now I can start working on one. The door pieces and the dash piece should be very straight forward and while the cluster area and shifter surround pieces will be a little more difficult, I don’t think they will be an issue at all.
I haven’t finalized a price on these yet, but expect it to be in the $700-800 range, which is still much less than OEM trim and includes additional pieces.
I’ll make more posts in the blog as I make more progress.
