Today I finished my gear knob project.
Sometimes we find inspiration in the least likely cars, and in this case it was a Dacia (you can see the original in one picture). I adapted the "body" to allow a threaded fit, upholstered the knob in leather with grey stitching, and ended up creating a...
First of all, thank you very much to everyone for the positive comments! Honestly, it's not my idea to produce and sell, also because I'm from Europe, and the market mainly in my country is very small. But I can help in another way, I share the files with the community and you can produce...
I personally don't use the lighter, so today I decided to make an acrylic plate, trying to make that area visually cleaner. The acrylic was designed and laser cutted, I designed the graphics that was placed on the back and painted black. All this was done at the back, so that the surface is...
I have to thank you for your comment, which makes me happy to see that there are still people who see the world of car upgrades as I do, a constant sharing and learning, no rewards needed, just the satisfaction of see something real, created by us and that was born just from an idea when we woke...
first of all - thank you all for your comments! I shared because I know I'm in the place where we all share the love for changes and improvements, and you can always give ideas to someone who wants to do the same.
Hi, sure, I made this grill from the standard one, it wasn't the B&O version...

-assembled the A and C pillars on same fabric as the headliner and done a new tweeter cover...

Sorry, not dash shots yet because they're not on place, I am working on another changes on the interior (leather console and centre speaker cover), soon all will be on the car and I will post here the final result.
Today I changed the air vents, I adapted the parts from a mercedes C w205. There are plug&play solutions on the market with the same design, but I ended up making the adaptation because I like DIY work and also because I found a good deal on parts. The vent housing itself did't needed any...
Today I trimmed the A and C pillars to match the headliner. Looks good to me , I didnt like the cheap plastic look. Soon I Will change the speaker grills to black metal/Chrome surround.
Yes, Lloyd mats, good quality in my opinion, I also buy the trunk carpet.
Can´t share a link because I bought at europe one last set in stock (I'm from Portugal, not from US)
Hi, my name is JoĂŁo, product designer. I'm from Portugal, and I own recently an Ecoboost (Manual, 317hp) that I really like, it's not a 5.0 but at Portugal the salaries and gas prices are not compatible with the V8, in my case. My plans are to change the exhaust and other cosmetic upgrades, and...
