Hundreds of details going around our heads...
- Center console CF was literally in the oven when I called
- Some timing issues with the top movement but that will get sorted
- Fitment of the Speedster cowl and base for it
- Floor mats getting finalized
- Full carbon side mirrors will arrive on Monday and Tuesday of next week
- Too many other things to list down and its been a long day...
Rear part of the exterior is coming along nicely...just needs the Turbo logo
OLD REAR END
Brembos and wheels are on...

I noticed that the windows switch on the door is not yet CF, if you are not able to source one in CF you can have yours hydro-dipped in CF film. It is a really cool process and after it its clear coated you will not be able to distinguish it from the real thing. I hope it helps.
Your work looks fantastic, takes a lot of dedication, congrats.

Augustomf...very familiar with the water transfer. We did a lot on my E55 build. I'll see what can be done with the window controls when I get to the shop tomorrow.
Some more pics...excited to see the center console and seats get put in tomorrow. I've been busy at work so it'll be the first time I've seen it in person since last week.

Home stretch guys...waiting on floor mats and more reassembly of the center console area. We have about 60 pieces that were converted into CF...that is a lot!
Bottom portion of center console...we are making the CF guy redo the ashtray cover since weave isn't in line with the rest of the piece...its a small piece but it needs to be done.
Front view so far...lights off...lights on...
Other random views...
I listened to the stereo today...untuned...my God this thing rocks...keeping the front sub but powering it with more power and added a flat 13" JL in the back really transforms the audio into something special. We played Hotel California on it today and it felt like we were in an outdoor amphitheater.
A spare set of interior door panel "spears" (that are now covered dyed to match the leather) will get converted to CF.
Floor panel recovered in leather...I know you won't see it but does look good...
