Coax image way better than components, same reason home speakers stick the teeter as cosr to the drivers as possible not as far as possible, try the JL Audio CX2 cost effective and sound amazing, no cross over monkey biz.

 

Hey. I just bought one. A 94 w/ 37k. real nice. needed a CV boot, R. window up prob. etc. all solved so far. (i am an auto tech) I also do almost everything else, including paint and so forth. but what is Xpel? also you did the bumper way too nice. Ferrari blows on a mist coat of black from 2 feet away I think. lol but it's true. good on ya. have fun.

 

Xpel is newest some say best clear bra technology. Like a thick clear plastic wrap for the car that resists chips etc.

I would consider that , but only for the front chin. I was thinking PPG flexative for first coat of clear. Then no add. for second coat. other wise it won't polish and buff to super shine for various reasons. eventually having pocks but no or few chips. I could live with that. A plastic film makes for a big hassle when it needs paint again. just some thoughts.

 

I have Xpel on all of cars, some just on the front bumper and others the whole car. The product is completely undetectable, its not like the older clear bra that has a bunch of orange peel and discoloration. The product also wont scar from bugs and beeswax like the older 3M product. You can also put Ceramic Pro over it as well which makes it even shine more. Additionally it can be removed with a standard hairdryer so its easy to take off. I cannot recommend it enough if you are painting your bumper.

Here is a pic of my TR which has it on the front bumper and satin Xpel on the lower spoiler. The whole car has Cermaic Pro over the Xpel and paint. You can see form the reflection that there is no orange peel, you can also see how even the satin Xpel is on the lower spoiler.

The red carpet is in, now on to replacing all the black vinyl on the dash with real black leather which should dress up the interior nicely. Once the black has been replaced we will work on cleaning/restoring the tan

Steve also made a new Tonneau cover in black leather, the original one has seen batter days...

Your interior looks amazing.

Have you received a quote on replacing the vinyl with leather? I’m considering doing this in my Mondial T

 

Looks great love the carpet color, bold move. Looks like the Wilton Wool from http://www.worlduph.com is that right?

 

Jerry the cost is $3,800.00 to do the whole job.

 

Yep Eric it is Wilton Wool, I did the same carpet and coloration in my Testarossa. I really like the red against the beige, plus in the 1960's it was common for Ferrari to match the carpet to the exterior color of the car. Being a fan and owner of 1960's cars I love the homage to how the coloration was treated.

Ok thanks.

 

The dash and other black components are finally out and Steve has started the process of replacing the black vinyl. It will be such a welcome change..

I see wrapping leather is not as easy as Vinyl. The project has taken longer than expected and Steve had to add a few stitched sections in order to accommodate right angles. Time to reassemble...

Killer man!

 

My that looks nice!

 

Picked up the car today in Arizona, really happy with how well it came out. Tomorrow we will drive to LA... Steve did an amazing job, the black leather is so sharp as is the paint correction and ceramic pro. Car truly looks showroom fresh inside and out.

As an added touch he painted the door sills, really makes a difference.

 

Looks great! new black leather on the doors makes a big difference especially in person.
