We’ve made a lot of progress on this trim over the last week or so. Should have it ready to ship very soon. These pieces have been trimmed, sanded, and clearcoated. They still need to be wetsanded and polished. Small dash and ashtray pieces. On the large dash piece, we were able to retain the […]
This one is for my friends over at CTSVowners.com who have been eagerly awaiting an update on these pieces. The main radio console piece took a lot longer than anticipated to get all trimmed and sanded out, but we were able to get it. Really looking forward to seeing how these pieces look installed. Few […]
After getting the CTS-V pieces wrapped over the weekend, it was time to start brushing on the epoxy. The red kevlar does not soak up the epoxy very well, so it takes a few coats to get it saturated. The black 8HS fabric is easily wetted out though. Only took a few coats for the […]
Now that I’m an official vendor over at CadillacForums.com it’s the perfect time to do a full write up on the production of a CTS-V carbon fiber set of trim from start to finish. This particular set is going to be pretty custom, with red carbon/kevlar hybrid fabric being used on the main trim along the […]
I had a B5 S4 Avant customer who purchased a set of interior trim and wanted and wanted a little something extra for his exterior as well. He asked if I could do the B and C pillars for his S4. It took us a little while, but we were able to get it sorted. […]
We got the cores in from Germany yesterday, so I can start production on these in the next few days. By my count I have about 25 A4/S4 vent and MMI sets of cores, and close to 10 A5/S5 sets as well, so hopefully after this group buy is completed I’ll have plenty of cores […]
I know there are quite a few of you that have been waiting paitently for us to clearcoat your parts. After a month delay, we finally got it in and are ready to plumb it to our new air compressor (an 80 gallon beast). We’ll get this all hooked up over the next day or […]
and it will be shipping out shortly. We just need to give it a few days to cure before it gets a final polish and gets shipped out. I’ll make sure to post a bunch of pictures after everything is installed.
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’ve made a bunch of progress on these pieces in the last week or so. First and foremost, we got the bag system running multiple parts now. We’ve also made an upgrade to the molds that I’ll detail in a separate post because it is a neat little process. We’ve also had to deal with […]
We just started our first official set of BMW carbon fiber trim. It’s for a 2006 e90 325i sedan. We decided to wrap it in an upgraded 20oz 2×2 twill fabric to make sure the trim really stood out. Once this is done we’ll start an e92 set (hopefully from an M3) and it will […]
