Got a bunch of these in a little bit ago and have begun production on them. The goal will be to produce these in a 8 harness satin weave (8HS) so that they are similar to the OEM carbon atlas trim found in the B8 S4. We’re going to be doing these pieces differently than […]
and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Now I just need to have someone local test fit them and I can start offering them. I’m going to try to offer them for between $400 and $600, but with cores it is going to be kind of tricky. I’m going to see about […]
Got these pieces clearcoated up today. I’ll probably wetsand them down a bit and do another few layers of clearcoat because I really want these pieces to look good. After sanding and before clearcoat. After the first few coats. Couple of detail shots on the vent piece. Few closeups of the MMI piece. Keep in […]
More and more B8 customers have been asking me if they could get vent and MMI pieces made in carbon fiber that matched the OEM carbon atlas trim. I had some extra cores laying around so I figured I’d give it a shot. The fabric I’m using for this is an 8 harness satin weave […]
With a little bit of resin on the pieces you can start to see their true color (especially compared to the pieces with just raw fabric). These pieces will be going in the oven for cure in the next few days and then sanded smooth. After that, they’ll be ready for clearcoat.
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 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.
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 […]
We’ve done a few B8 A4/S4 carbon fiber sets of trim so far, but up until now they have all been the standard 11oz 2×2 twill (you can see some of those sets in the B8 gallery). We recently got a bunch of B8 cores from Germany so we figured it would be time to […]
Lots of progress on the B8 vent and MMI pieces. These will be getting sent out on Monday so hopefully we’ll have some installed pictures shortly. Before we start, the black pieces are for the B8 A4/S4 and are done in a 11oz 2×2 twill. The red pieces are for a B8 A5/S5 and are […]
Just got a few pictures from David of his B8 beltline trim installed. I still have a few more pieces to finish up and get them sent off to him, so I’ll be adding more pictures to his gallery once he gets the shifter piece and the vent/MMI pieces. Full gallery with a few more […]
The second set of B8 A4/S4 trim is going much smoother than the first. Almost all the of the kinks I had during the first production run are getting ironed out and the finished product is a lot better. The finish is flawless and they should fit perfectly. Now that the beltline is done and […]
