My bad - I tried to warn you THANKS FOR THE AWESOME JOB - Once I get the car back (Monday) - I'll put pics up so everyone can see the beautiful work you do (which, it seems, more and more members are figuring out quickly, even without them) Thanks again for the great job and customer service

Patterns/CF,Skulls etc.

Thanks guys for all the great comments. It took hours if not days testing pieces with different base coats, clears, and some additional steps that I will keep to myself. Which keeps us ahead of the rest when it comes our look of CF and double and triple patterns . Members that I have pieces I will giving you the tracking number later today. I figured why they where sitting boxed up ready to ship on sunday. I would take it one step further for you and I wetsanded and polished the pieces to get that smooth as a babys *** look.Hyperion667 if you want PM me and I will take care of you. I have been working on some real trick stuff on some pieces so stay tuned for the pics. I wanted to post a few other patterns just so you think its not only about CF or Skulls. There is wood grains, stones, camo, animal print, Skulls, animation,etc.Over 1000 patterns I have access to. If you think it, we can do it. If you want the access to other patterns let me know.Plus by changing the base coat changes the outcome. Meaning if I base coat with red and use CF pattern you get red CF. so sky is the limit.

Shawn is amazing at what he does, this stuff looks even better in person, I can't wait to get more work done by this guy.

Shawn I got your msg. I've been swamped so bad with family stuff + my recent car troubles that I took 2 days off of work just to catch up. I will ring you tomorrow after my court hearing at around 3PM or so.

Bump for amazing work.

NEW CF PATTERN

Just wanted to let everyone know that my distributor just sent me a new CF pattern the other day. I did a few pieces already, one was the Skull and CF engine cover and my mirrors. They are always coming out with new patterns, it doesnt mean its a better pattern is just another option. I took a close up of the mirrors so weave of the pattern. PM me with any questions.
Thanks,
Shawn

Member- Wheels, Grill, under hood,etc. PICS

Here is some HREs and Cargraphics that where just done today in CF, they are in the area where they are rinsed prior to being cleared so every piece looks dull. As well E63 CF grill and under hood pieces.Stay tuned to see the finished product.
