Lately I’ve had some customers have some trouble removing the front ashtray covers on their B6/B7 Audis, so I figured I would write up a little guide. I think people tend to over complicate this step of the trim removal when it is actually quite simple. Before we start, let me stress that you do not need […]

It only took 216 hours, 4 guys, 2 cranes, and a bunch of dirt but we are back up and running. I’ll be spending the next few days updating customers on their orders and trying to get caught up. I’ll be working overtime for the next week or two trying to get all outstanding orders […]
Just wanted to make a quick blog post to give everyone a heads up on why I’ve been so hard to get a hold of this week. I went out to lunch a few days ago and when I returned, the street was completely flooded with muddy water. After a little investigation, I found the […]

I’ve been anxious to see what this setup would look like for a while now, so I was happy to finally get some decent photos. I think it fits pretty well with the two tone interior and adds a nice contrast. Rest of the gallery can be found here: Barry’s A4.
Sorry if this is a bit of a boring post, but it should have a pretty big impact on the photos we have here in the blog. When we moved into the shop last year, it was outfitted with some super cheap florescent light bulbs. These bulbs were a problem for a couple of reasons. The biggest […]
Got the C6 A6 shifter back together again. It was much more challenging than I had anticipated, but now that it is finally done The two ashtray covers. Two side blades. Shifter frame. First the side blades are attached. Then the ashtray covers are attached. And finally, after a bunch of tiny screws, the shifter […]
Lots of progress on the B8 vent and MMI pieces. These will be getting sent out on Monday so hopefully we’ll have some installed pictures shortly. Before we start, the black pieces are for the B8 A4/S4 and are done in a 11oz 2×2 twill. The red pieces are for a B8 A5/S5 and are […]
Still working on the shifter plate but I got some images of the dash and door pieces installed. I think it turned out very nice with the metal trim around the carbon fiber.
Took me a while, but this set is finally done. Had some trouble with the metal edges of the trim. I couldn’t get them to stay in place long enough for the glue to set, so they kept popping out of place. Ended up having to use some quick setting epoxy to get everything to […]
and once again I’m very happy with the results. When you see the images of this set right after it was clearcoated, you may notice specs of dust or imperfections in the clear. All of these need to be wetsanded and polished out of the finish. After wetsanding with high grit sandpaper (1500+) the set […]
