I’ve done a few blue and red carbon kevlar sets for the B8 recently, so I figured I’d give a go at some colored B5 sets. These sets are in the beginning stages of production and will darken up considerably once the resin and clearcoat has been applied, but you can get a good idea […]
Few more pictures of a finished 5HS carbon fiber. It will be getting installed this weekend so I should have tons of good pictures of it in the car very soon.
The camera doesn’t really do these pieces justice (my cheapo digital that is covered in resin coupled with fluorescent lights in the warehouse). The look like a bright red and blue, but in person they are more of a deep, subtle color. Once I add the resin, they will darken up a bit as well. I’ll continue […]
Got a 20oz 2×2 twill clearcoated. We took it out in the sun to try and get some good photos of it. Pretty crazy how much better it looks in some decent lighting. I’ll try and do this more often with sets. You can see some orange peel that still needs to get wetsanded and […]
Got the 8HS B8 trim clearcoated a little while ago and it turned out pretty good. These pieces should look very similar to the OEM carbon fiber trim, minus the faux metal piece that sits on the edges of the OEM set.
Working on 20oz 2×2 twill cabrio set right now so I figured I’d post up some pics of it. The front door pieces are insanely long, almost as big as the A8 door pieces. Unfortunately, cabrio core sets of trim are a little tough to come by. The original core that was sent to me […]
Just got done clearcoating the first set made with the new 5 harness satin (5HS) fabric I just got in. It is a 6k 11oz fabric, so it is pretty high quality. At first I wasn’t really sure how I felt about it from an aesthetic standpoint, but now seeing these pieces finally clearcoated I’m pretty happy […]
A ton of progress on the Q7 set has been made. Sanded, trimmed, and clearcoated. It will be polished and shipped out in the next few days. All of the pieces have the extra fabric trimmed from the edges. At this point the pieces were still pretty lumpy, so they were block sanded smooth. Getting […]
This is the first Q7 set we’ve done at oCarbon and it is a beauty. It was done in a 4×4 twill and so far is looking fantastic. Currently it is being trimmed and sanded and will be clearcoated in the next few days. Won’t be very much longer before it is finished up and […]
Those of you that are following the blog know that we’ve been making a bunch of sets with new, custom fabric. Now we’ve got the first B5 set with the 8 harness satin (8HS) weave. It is the same type of fabric found on the B8 Audi S4 and S5 OEM carbon fiber trim, so […]
I’m slowly but surely making progress and completing sets. I think I will be finishing 2-3 more before the end of the week and probably most, if not all, of the remaining sets by the end of next week. If you participated in the group buy, keep a look out for an email from FedEx […]
I had posted up about a few custom B8 sets we’ve been working on and we finally got the first one wrapped up. I’m really happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to get some pictures back of it installed. I hope to have the other custom B8 sets finished by the end […]
