Some of your mods are great...others ...acquired taste I believe.

Overall...I enjoyed ...but my wife told me point blank...No Gold trim ....I never should have shown her your pics.

So now I must admire from afar most of your cool upgrades...enjoy!
That's too bad... the single most compliment I'm getting is on the Dragon Edition gold badges!

Its ready exterior wise so sure. (Interior is still work in progress.) What are you planning? I'm sure there are some early model roadster owners that might be interested in feeling what a full Velocity AP upgrade feels like.

Wow. I am impressed. That is a great attention to detail. I am starting to look at the interior of my car for upgrades and some of what you have done is giving me inspiration.

ALL the carbon work was done by a guy in FL who is a master at applying real carbon, epoxy, sand, epoxy, sand, etc., clear coat, sand, etc.. You might be surprised with how inexpensive it is compared to buying real pre formed carbon parts. I'm talking fractions on the dollar, but I've agreed not to post his pricing. If anyone is interested in the contact, PM me.

how do you give him the measurements or are you sending the original part for him to scan or whatever?

That's the rub. You will have to send him your physical parts. The physical part is actually wrapped with real carbon and then the epoxy, sand and clear coat procedure is performed.

I registered just to reply. What a great job...congrats! The attention to detail is amazing and could be considered similar to an "autobiography" (Rover) or BMW "individual" spec for Aston. Kudos and great job!

Enjoy it!
