If it glues up right.. I'm gonna sell the complete cluster hood

Next I'll try one in Alcantara.
Finished.



This will probably be for sale in the classifieds next week. I ordered some more cluster hoods.. so more are on the way if anyone is interested.

Thanks! I'm still amateur so these take many hours of love to complete, but I won't factor that into the price. These will be a steal

What about the center dash pieces? I would pay for your awesome services to do one of those.

The only problem is I can't find any cheap surrogate pieces I have no promise on turnaround time.. so I'd hate to get somebody's pieces and take more than a few days.

Also for the dash piece.. I would only mold the pieces and do a 1-piece wrap with a top stitch. Not a multi-piece. I could probably do a multipiece, but no promises. Since it is JPM style, I don't think I can officially sell it here. Mainly frowned upon rather than legal, but I am working that out now. I'll update later



It gets into the whole argument of same design, undercutting, etc.

Take all the time you need! Its winter time over here and the car is going to be getting very little love for the next little while.

Yeah my two pieces are already molded together so I already have that done for you. Its the victim of when i was first learning how to do carbon fiber skinning so i'll have to sand it all back down for you before I sent it.

Something to think about if you want the extra fun! and $
I havent quite made up my mind ifI I want alcantara or some sort of faux pvc leather.

Also for a little extra challenge if you choose to take it on. I also want to just lay the same material used on center dash pieces onto the gauge cluster surround. Not the gauge cluster hood that you've done but its the piece that surrounds that gauge cluster and also butts up against the gauge cluster hood (its right underneath it). The idea is, it would create a neat flow of color from the left side of the car all the way to the right (red is what i was thinking for all the pieces).

You're lucky, you have an excuse to black them out now.

Well the Chicago land area got hit with 16in of snow over the weekend so I thought it be a good idea to put on my snow tire/wheels. And I love the look

205/55-16 BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK WS80 on 16X7 SPARCO TERRA

Overall the tires are great and will get through about anything your front end will allow. Highway driving is not great with these, anything past 70 is sketchy.
The car feels more loose up top and you gain about half an inch in height maybe less.

I took the Spraco Decals off the wheels prior before putting them on the car Andy Blackmore is sending me some vectors of Subaru so I can get some decals to put on the wheels I think it will look better.

I wish they made the Terra in gold in 16s But I guess I can always get them painted.

Pulled out of a gas station like a bat out of hell on stock tires at between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit and got REAL sideways. At the colder temps the tires are hardening up and slid more than I expected but I just went with it and gave it some gas to have a little fun and then straightened her out. Good times. But in all seriousness it'll be time for snows soon.
