Default A few DIY carbon parts and some new mods

Hi all been busy with the car made some carbon fiber brake duct covers and a carbon fiber cowl. I also got a set of the tsw nurb rims which added quite a bit of clearance for the planned bbk upgrade. Let me know what you think it was alot of fun making all the carbon parts for the interior and the exterior.

Now off to install the tfs 215s and tr cam

Exterior stuff will be done in 2011. I am working the interior mods now. I just received my CF radio DD bezel and center console. Next up is the new NAV system, MadVette soundproof material and some new leather skins, interior ugrades.

Hoping to move to the exterior in 2011 with the Caravaggio spoiler and perhaps a front splitter and side skirts.

Corporate America however, has not been cooperating with my mod objectives lately!

Yes real carbon sheet overlaid with tons of resin and clear talk about work lol. Your car motivated me to do mine in cf going to do a few more parts. I need to stop soon before it gets to be too excessive haha.

I feel you man your car will look amazing with it any pics of the bezel and console installed? The housing market has me on hold as its impossible to sell anything out here without giving it away damn foreclosures.
