Since Jon was always taking far away pics to show everyone pieces being worked on i decided to take some close up pictures to show off how awesome the weave is and in person it looks very 3d.

yes there is some dust on the pics, im guessing from the shredded paper and garage work, no biggie but id give the kit a air hosing to get all that off before you install them.

All wraped in bubble wrap so they arrived in perfect shape and really cant wait to get these in there and show em off.

Great Craftsmanship!











this is just some di-noc i threw on the door handle pull out piece just to match the cf a bit.


all in all im trying to get as many pieces as i can wrapped in this because its beautiful as can be.

If not tomorrow then definitely on Monday. Gonna try and get the rest of ur pieces and my bezels sanded and ready for clear

Those close ups really show dome great detail... I picked up my black hvac face for roughly 20$. Man the silver one would just look so tacky with carbon fiber along with everything else black.

I don't mind it that much. My car is all black so adds a lil color. I may pull and wrap it later. But doubt it

Colored carbon is expensive. Have to buy minimums when u buy carbon and buying a whole roll it would just sit since not too many people have requested other colors. We can do it but charge extra since a roll is ordered. B best to do a bunch of parts at one time then extra charge wouldnt b so bad
