well, the pedals have Brabus on the back and some weird German jibberish, so I assume they are real. My wheels are not, dumb question (I sense the sarcasm) but my spiffy center caps are (Made by Brabus for the Monoblock V)

Thanks for the warm welcome back guys, it's good to be among friends again.

The suede was not that hard to do, it's just very tedious and time consuming. The biggest hint I can give is buy about 20x or so little plastic clamps to hold the seams on until they dry and move on to the next portion. Also you'll want to get a large and small paint roller so you can roll out all the air bubbles on the flat surfaces before it dries.

The carbon fiber was all custom made by a friend of mine, sorry she's out of the picture now so I can't even hook you guys up. The chrome trim was custom cut out of steel then show chromed.

JetCoating is awesome they're worth every penny. I just have to track down a spare exhaust manifold. They're not that expensive around $250 for the manifolds.


Not an Apex strut bar, that's an OG Sparco bar, that I traced down in Italy.
