You won't regret it. I bought mine, installed in like 5 minutes and has been working fine for the past 6 months or so.

Got the windows tinted, and a clearbra installed. Just passed the break in period too so I've been playing around with sport mode and paddle shifting.

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

Just trying to offset all the money I spent on mods this week

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.

I think it looks really nice when the chrome looking parts of the headlight are matte blacked. I am nervous about taking apart my headlights though so I haven't done it--but if I were in your shoes I definitely would. Food for thought.
