Interior looks great! Did you wrap the interior pieces yourself? Where did u get ur seats done? I want to do the same with my A4s.

I had a local guy whose been in the hotrod business for years do the seats and wrap the interior pieces for me. The guy does amazing work his stuff has been featured in countless mags throughout the years. Im sure i could have wrapped the trim pieces myself but I just happen to be friends with the guy so he really didnt charge me much to do the work. Besides I had to much on my plate at the time to worry about wrapping the stuff myself.

Damn that looks clean

Everything looks awesome opal... but dang, pretty sure I would have finished off that intake. I mean, I know it can be a pita to keep clean, but you def had all the prep work done. I def would have polished it out, I think it would have really been the eye catcher in your bay. Beautiful regardless though

Thorco3 I had it finished and it looked sweet but after a week it had a tiny bit of oxidation in some of the tight spots.Right there and then I knew i didnt want to deal with the maintnance. The good thing is its been sanded enough that if I want to go back to polished it wouldnt be hard. I have some work im doing in the bay right now that will make things a bit more interesting. I think after this next year the car will be where i want it as I have some bigger things planned for the winter. Right now though I realy want to finish the interior and a few other small details in the bay before the AM show.

Badass96gt It was nice to meet you...and i replyied to you Pm

Ok I finally got a couple of shots of the bay so here they are.

I never get tired of looking at this car! I don't care for convertible's 1 bit! I had previously bought an 01 V6 convertible which I ended up hating and giving to my wife... But if I ever got a convertible I would have to copy everything you have done to yours!!! It's Breathtaking :drunken_smilie:

Car looks great as always.

Lil update..for the past few months I have been dying to try some hydroprinting on the car. I absolutely love the finish you can get with this but was unsure were to try it out. Well I decided to do the firewall panell just to see how it would come out. Now Im not set on the carbon fiber and actually have another idea but I do love the finish it gives. I will be bringing some of this hydroprint into the interior although I doubt it will be carbon fiber. That is all for now..ohh and a sneak peek. I will be sending everything out after this coming weeks mustang unlimited show so stay tuned lol

badass96gt · Jun 19, 2011

Who did the hydoprint for you? Im looking into that as well.

badass96gt I had a local guy who just started doing it about 3 months ago do the firewall panel but will be using Ct coating for the rest of the stuff as they have alot more experience in the field.

hmm whats your setup /specs on the fti custom cam? and are they the 165cc or 185 afr heads? and any port work to them or the intake?, because I have a similar setup but trickflow ported heads and trickflow ported intake and a comp cam with .555 lift cam similar to what I think I read your fti cam was and my car should be making 320-350rwhp like it did previos on dyno with smaller cam and its now not making its power it put down only 283rwhp,so I was jw because once I figure out my prob I suspect my similar setup should make around 320+rwhp.
