Looks like bark on a burnt tree to me

Maybe it's the pictures or my eyes, but it looks like a thick, overly kit? Not true trim replacement pieces, but not like a flat vinyl either. Like, 1mm-2mm thick pre-cut stuff maybe? It kind has a "puffy" look to it?

They are oem pieces that get sanded for bonding then you mask the backs off to protect the mounting points. Then dust with spray adhesive drop the pieces of chopped up carbon weave on top and pour a liquid epoxy over that, then sand and polish... I talked to the guys who made this kit for him, they are in Malaysia ( MUGATU).

I started a project on the door handles when I first got the steering wheel... it a messy as a diy- lol and a year later I’ve still not wanted to finish it haha!

First pic shows how I did a bootleg version of vacuum forming it

Last pic is how they sit on the shelf now and still need lots of sanding , then clear coat.

its like sitting in your friends Italian grandparents house where they have pillars in the bathroom. The 80's were super weird for those of us that lived it lol. Black tiled bathrooms....barf

The 80s were great and weird and great.

Mugatu?

That stuff does look like it would be part of the Derelicte collection...

Those photos make it look better than the first one but it's still not to my taste.

Can appreciate the work and effort put into it though.

I can at least appreciate the work and effort. It's pretty well-done, even if I don't appreciate the style of materials/color scheme chosen. Clashes with the red theme of the car

I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber or forged carbon, but definitely an A for effort, that is a big mod.

So I went a little spend happy today. Looks like the R is getting some upgrades to go with the spoiler extension I purchased when I get home!

I totally respect the amount of work that went into these bits, it's a true artform. personally, I prefer a traditional weave. but this finished product turned out real nice.

He really needs to address the red stitching on the boot, door cards, ebrake, elsewhere in the cabin. Needs to be white to match the seats and the theme.

Other than that, he did a really good job.

So just buy an R and move everything over? Sounds like a good plan.

Also, are those seats from an Audi? They don't look like regular GTI seats...
