And we are still working with the universal lip mold. Heres a shot of what we have mocked up on a 89 vert. Still need to add the stablizers and do a few more adjustments for we cast the final mold.
Damn now the forum is not letting me upload the pic. Its saying that its partially uploaded. Wonder why that is?
I will drop the pic to my site and you can view it their.

panels are being cut by a "Frekin Lazer" today will have pics up hopefully by Friday.
Also we are still working the Lip/canard to force more air into the oil cooler and rad for us overheating *** FC FMIC guys. Here is a progress pic of ramping the air up into the facia from 8 inches below. Should pull twice the air it did before.

Damn alot of PM's
" Do these fit a S4"
Yes they are FC universal S4 & S5
"Does the Lip fit a s4"
Yes that is also being designed by us to be Fc universal and only will be available in CF 4x4 twill and I am trying to keep the price around $100 bucks. But this is not ready yet we are still making design changes to make it a functional lip not just a curb finder.

well they are done. This time we put 2 extra coats of clear on them for a total of 6 coats. I like this setup alot. Really gives them a deep gloss and wet look. I will be PM'ing people I promised these to. Sorry for the wait but as you guys know I will never ship out anything unless its 100% ready and then damn laser cutter ruined about half of these so we had to remake some.

does that armrest open from the driver's side or does it open from the top? i have both armrests and the control switch piece doesn't interchange. the one that opens from the top is about 1/8" longer than the other one. i dont know if someone mentioned this already cuz i'm in a rush to get home from work and i didnt read all the posts. i'm also interested in the rad. panel

Tito thats the first I have heard of that. I know its to long to fit the 1st gen arm rest which looks exactly like the 2nd gen one except that panel is smaller. Could you have a 1st gen one in your car and not know it. Please post a pic of what you are talking about and the difference or we might chalk this post up to forum BS.

once i get my camera working i will. would the 1st gen armrest fit in the fc? cuz when i bought my s4, the control panel fit perfectly with the top-open one and last i check the 1st gen didnt have an auto-suspenion switch. after my bro broke it, i got one from ebay and when i tried fitting the piece, it bowed. the armrest was slimmer than the one you posted.
btw- i have an 88 se

Not sure but I do have a 1st gen arm rest at the house that looks exactly like a 2nd gen one except the console panel is smaller. Snap a pic of yours and post it. The panels all had different cutouts for the different series switches but I thought that the panels where all the same size in diameter.

ok...i got good news and bad news, bad news is i cant find my original armrest but the good news is i have pics of the new one i have with the control switch panel bowed out. more bad news:..i dont know how to posts pics here but here's more good news - went to my dad's place to check his 1st gen and it's the same style but that definately wouldnt fit a FC. it's sits at least 1 1/2" higher than the 1st gen. lemme know how to posts pics.
