for a B8 A4. It’s the first silver “carbon fiber” (which is actually aluminum coated fiberglass) trim set for a B8 we’ve done and it is turning out fantastic. The epoxy is all cured now and it will be trimmed down, sanded smooth, and clearcoated in the next week or so. I can’t wait to […]
and I couldn’t be happier. I’m sorry these aren’t the best photos, but I wanted to post these up today because of how great they turned out. I’ll get the mini studio setup later this weekend and take some better photos and post them on Monday. MMI piece re-assembled. I will not be including the […]
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on various improvements to help with the production of the B8 “OEM” carbon fiber vent and MMI pieces. I spent the last day or so making simple foam molds that help support the pieces under vacuum. Previous brackets would cave in under full vacuum. Running the pump […]
We have a few more interior shots from the Adam’s Rotors feature on StanceWorks. A full, detailed write up can be found here: http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/02/rotors8/ This set was a custom made 9oz plain weave. I’ve only done a few sets in this particular fabric, so it’s pretty rare. The Adam’s Rotors logo embedded in the epoxy […]
I’ve got another custom kevlar set that just got shipped out to a C5 A6 owner. He should be receiving it any day now, so hopefully we’ll get some installed pictures soon. Up next to be polished: Another custom C5 A6 set, but this time in red.
A few months ago I got in contact with a member on Audizine to see if he was interested in having my first custom yellow carbon/kevlar trim set in his car. He happily obliged. I worked on his set and watched the progress he made on his car. So while it has taken a while to get […]
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.
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.
