  • First A3 set completed…

    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 […]
  • A5/S5 beltline teasers…

    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.
  • A5/S5 Carbon Fiber Trim Production – part 3…

    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 […]
  • A3 Carbon Fiber Trim production – part 2

    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 […]
  • Some yellow carbon kevlar just showed up…

    This was special ordered for a customer of mine.  I’m not going to go into any details about the car its going on right now, but I’m pretty excited about it.  Stay tuned for more…
  • Second batch of samples ready to go…

    Three cans of Mountain Dew later and I finished getting 70 more samples ready with labels and postage.  I also managed to get another 150 or so ready with carbon fiber, so I’ll just have to stick on a label and stamps for the 3rd round. I was even nice enough to pay for the […]
  • Tons of progress for the custom A5 stuff…

    I haven’t stayed on top of updating the blog with the progress on all this custom A5 stuff, so I’ll just do one huge post with everything (I’m almost done with a lot of it, so there will be more updates on it in the coming days). These seatbacks are going to look amazing once […]
  • C5 A6 Carbon Fiber Trim

    I just realized I never posted any pictures of my first C5 A6 carbon fiber trim set.  These have been sent to a customer in Canada but they’ve yet to arrive.  Hopefully he gets them soon so I can get some images of them installed.  I’m really happy with how it turned out.
  • First batch of samples ready to go…

    Just got done stuffing a little over 120 envelopes with carbon fiber samples.  I’ll be dropping them off at the post office tomorrow morning so people should start seeing them in their mailboxes in the next few days. That being said, I was totally not prepared to have so many people take advantage of this.  […]
  • Want a free sample of raw carbon fiber?

    I’ve been saving scraps that I trim away from the parts I make for a few months now and have a HUGE stockpile of them, so I decided to start giving them away as free samples.  Most of the samples will be the standard fiber I use, 11oz 2×2 6k twill.  However, I have some […]
  • D2 A8 Carbon Fiber Trim Production

    I had totally forgotten about this core until recently.  Originally, I purchased it for a customer interested in having a carbon fiber set made for his D2 A8L sometime in 2007.  Unfortunately, the customer ended up selling his car and didn’t want the trim anymore, so the core sat unused for a while.  A few […]
  • A3 Carbon Fiber Trim Production

    Was able to find someone with an A3 that was willing to be a test mule and was able to make some progress on it this week.  It is only one piece on each door and the shifter plate, so there aren’t that many pieces to wrap.  Hopefully in the future we can find some […]
