It looks outstanding Kendall. I'm sure that is one very happy GT owner!

And I agree.

The GT interior is extremely difficult to properly photograph, and CF specifically adds to the problem. The black absorbs the light, and the CF reflects the rest, leaving a dark photograph with glaring reflections.

Very impressive. Gives the interior more of an exotic flavor like you would find in an F430!

Nice! It pains me to have Kip's CF gauge panel and storage console sitting here in a box.

Speaking of a F430, took a drive this morning with a bunch of Fcar guys. One of the fellows just picked up a beautiful black F430 and it was a work of art. Engine bay was covered in CF - everywhere and in the cockpit as well. The contrasting yellow stitching in the interior was sweet.

Kip, need more CF!

Obviously no one here has noticed the trend we're seeing here. As a scientist, it is becoming quite obvious. Owners with colors other than RED must adjust for their color shortcomings and are adding mods to overcome their shortcomings.

HHGT guessed it correctly; this is my GT! :thumbsup
I picked it up today from Kendall and the interior looks amazing with the CF; it gives the car a different look, in a positive way.
Kendall did a great job and worked extremely hard! you wouldn't think this work was done "after market", it is so clean, no scratches, dents, missing parts (bolts, nuts, etc.) :biggrin
However, he messed up my "seat position", it is going to take me another week to get it right! :lol
Also, a big thank you to Kip for manufacturing these CF parts; without him, these pics would not be possible! :cheers

Like Kendall said, pics don't do it justice, I couldn't stop looking at it, it kicks up the interior another notch up. I should have called you to ride up with us, but 'ol grandpa asked for a ride at the last minutes, mine will be done soon, and I'll be happy to show you the results. :thumbsup

That looks great should have been an option from the factory. How much r&d did you have to do for the piece?

How much R&D?

The short answer is "tons".

This one took a lot of work.
There are a lot of parts coming together in one location; the gauge plates, switches, the switch plates, the IP, you name it. Then there are the milling fixtures, bonding fixtures, etc. etc. This one took a while to develop.

Anyway; Kendall, thanks for posting the photos!
Thanks to eveyone for the compliments!
Sam - got yours bonded togther tonight.
Bony - you and GulfGT are up next.
Tons more in the works.
About ready to make some product announcements.
Moving to a larger shop this week!!!
Now, back to work......
