Art, since I'm still putting the finishing touches on it, there will be no pics until Tuesday. I'll start a new post then. Also, the website usually lags a bit behind our current offerings.

Chris:

Went to your web site, and saw the console for the 348. Where is the one for the 355?

Oh, yes, Morrie, we are working on interior trim (silver parts on the stock vehicle) like the radio console and the door panels, engine compartment panels, and revised (smoother shape like stradale), insulated airboxes. We'll be making plenty of other stuff too, but these are the 360 parts currently in development.

Kaz Automotive is a brand new business and once Andre gets his stock in order and operation up to speed, he hopes to become a sponsor as well.

Jeff,
without trying to be rood but we have a Carbon manufacturer here as a sponsor and he is doing the 348/355 pieces as well right now. Byrons car is the test mule. So please use some consideration towards them when posting.

OK folks, Andre of KAZ automotive just left my house. He spent the entire day in my garage with my 348 doing the final fits on the prototype pieces. I expect to have the first 12 pieces installed and ready for a photo shoot by the end of Sept. I'll post pics for everyone.
We had a nice series of discussions about ideas for carbon fiber peices. He is quite open to suggestions. Here's a question for the group: Would you 348 TS /355 TS owners be interested in a carbon fiber roof?
