MAN THAT SUCKS! I would be so pissed, oh well. If you get things rolling again withing a few months please PM me. I wouldn't mind buying that dash cover at all. Only reason I won't buy now is I am focusing on getting my TII running first

shifter surround mold also got destroyed along with everything else. Not too hard to make again but this stuff is expensive to do in little amounts and goes down ALOT in price when you can buy the stuff in larger quantities. Example, a gallon on resin from a local fiberglass supply is about 35 per gallon if i buy the stuff I like. If i buy five gallons from the net it ends up at 17 a gallon. In order to make another mold I have to have the mold release wax, 10 bux; PVA, 10 bux; Resin, 35 bux; tooling gel coat 45; regular white gel coat, 10 bux; brush, 10 bux; roller, 15 bux, gloves, 10 bux; misclellaneous tools, 20 bux. It can easily be over 200 bux just to get started but when I do I will have all the tools neccesary to do anything else but for me the money just isnt here right now to spend. I have my wife coming in less than a month to live with me and I have a few hundred dollars to my name and I have to have a place to live in a month, so you can imagine this is low on my priorities. Had my tools and resins and hundreds of dollars worth of stuff not gotten thrown away i could pop this stuff out easily, so it is a matter of waiting. I have a few projects coming up shortly that will generate some cash and neccistate these tools and materials so it should be coming back up when i get abck on my feet......

dude you were in on the dash like six months ago lool.....yes I wil be having stuff and something setup on the side FINALLY. Bukwild wanted to get together and do a fulltime shop but life is hectic but I will be able to commit to some solely new products. Wife finally made it and all and sorry for those waiting. Anyhow I have my hood on its way to get here to make a mold from, the dash mold is finished, it just needs to be wetsanded and all. I also ordered the erebuni kit so I will be getting started on that kit as well and the lights and everything so there will be ALOT more products available hopefully and much better dependability because I wont be working broke all of the time.

yeah wilson your kit looks nute and for the price you got it it is insane....anyhow I wil be making almost all of the interior parts in cf because mine are all broken and it pisses me off and is easy to do. I will be making the pillars, sills and all of the rear plastics with a template for a 6x9 right behind the seatbealt thing and also the small ones around the carpet with the shifter but not sure what I want to do for a radio surround for now. I also am tired of the dated door panels so i will make some more and wil have a space for 5.25 speakers.
So I will have all of that and my bodykit that I want to make. I have already ordered all of the parts including the lights so you know no BS there. I am FINALLY REALLY going to make that kit God willing.
I will have a Cf diffuser to go with that kit. Nothing complicated just more of a rear undertray of sorts.
I will also have a feed style lip for the s5 maybe in cf and one modified to fit the s4 lines. I will also have a sideskirt lip type kit that is more subtle and not a full in skirt and rear bumper lips for the s4 and s5. This is more for those stocker types that dont want a full kit but want a subtle change without changing the entire car.
I will also be making my RE type hood. I have already paid to have it processed to get it shipped down to NC. I will be cleaning the lines of the hood up and getting in perfect and ready for molding and I will sell copies.
I will also have a set of aftermarket front fenders that are a bit different than the one in my sig. I will have a set of matching rear overfenders.
I will have a set of some custom tails. Nothing ricey and sure as hell not some altezza crap. Just something different and in CF. Just imagine the same config of the s5 tails but with LED lights mounted like the ones on the back of trailers. Simple and easy and in cf and just plain different but same config as s5. And dammit I am going to include some bright as halogen fog lights as reverse lights. Works great for those idiots with their high beams on behind you if you wire a special switch. If Illegal then I may change that.
I will also have the dask kit of course but that will be considered another interior part. So pretty much two new and completely original bodykits and an interior kit.
