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.
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 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 […]
Few shots of some custom B5 beltline sets that I’ve been working on recently. First up is a plain weave set. It’s very similar to a standard 11oz 2×2 twill set, the weave is just slightly different. This plain is 9oz 1×1 weave. It’s got more of a checkerboard look the diagonal the twill sets […]
I’m liking this fabric more and more as I continue to complete sets with it. This is the 4th overall 20oz set I’ve completed (two B5 sets and this is the second B6/B7 set). The thicker fabric has a much tighter weave.
Few pics of the first of many pieces for Coran’s B6 A4. First up are the seatbacks. These are all cleaned up and ready for clearcoat. I’ll be dropping them off at a bodyshop to be clearcoated later this week. They are just too big for me to handle the clearcoating on my own and […]
