I decided to go with the 20oz 2×2 twill, after some hesitation because I wasn’t certain if the fabric would be too thick for the complex curves of the D3 A8. The shifter piece and the speedometer piece with their intricacies worried me the most. The thicker fabric is much harder to work with on […]
Made some progress on my friend’s D3 A8/S8 trim. The resin is applied to the majority of the set and will spend the next few days curing. After its cured, I can trim off all the excess, start sanding it smooth, and getting the pieces ready for clearcoat. I’m a little behind on the dash […]
A friend of mine recently acquired a D3 S8. Before he picked it up he got a hold of me to if I could do something about the wood trim. I spent some time getting a few D3 cores shipped over from Germany so I could take care of him. These pics are of the […]
Got the final pieces for the D2 set clearcoated. Now these just need to sit for a little bit to have the clearcoat cure and then all the little imperfections can be wetsanded and polished out. These last few pieces were pretty complex, looking forward to see what they look like installed.
This set still needs to be wetsanded and polished, but it turned out pretty solid. I’m really enjoying all these custom sets that people are ordering. Stay tuned for more images of this set, it’s going in a monster widebody Imola S4.
Was finally able to find some time to make some progress on this D2 A8 set. I got the bulk of it clearcoated (I believe there are two large center console pieces that still need to be clearcoated, but they had some chips around the edges that needed to be fixed so they will be […]
We were able to make quite a bit of progress on the custom red carbon/kevlar A5 seatbacks today. These should have clearcoat on them by the end of the weekend, and hopefully can be finished up shortly after that. Sam wetsanding out some of the big scratches after he blocked it smooth. A quick rinse […]
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 […]
Finally finished up the first A3 set and I’m very happy with it. I really don’t think it could have turned out any better. I’ll be packing it up tonight and shipping it off to its owner in the morning. He’s already got an removal guide in the works and will provide plenty of pictures […]
Finally finished polishing up the beltline and will be wrapping it up and shipping it off to its owner tomorrow. It should be at his door step (and hopefully installed) by the end of the week.
I got done clearcoating the door pieces pretty late last night. They turned out beautiful. I really couldn’t be any happier with them. Perfect lines, no waves on the finish at all. Very clean edges. I was going to just post these pictures last night, but I felt like the images of the pieces under […]
It’s a little after 1am and I just got done clearcoating a bunch of stuff. I was going to wait until the morning to start posting pictures of everything, but I was so happy with how the sets turned out, I’m just going to start right now. First up is the A3 set. It’s the […]
