I saw that. Very nice! I finally got a reply from FieroAddiction about '88 brakes. Geez It only took 6 weeks. I guess there's a new 13" kit in the works.

New parts, new tooling, new equipment, new proceedures. What are the chances of having a reject?..........That's a 100% Laminating resin just chewed away at my fresh gelcoat........... REJECT !

Don't want to take this too far off topic though.

If I wanted a 355 bumper I'd be begging for that one even with it flaws since my body guy is myself and it woud be fixed in under 30 min, but I want the 512 bumper.

JM, I abandoned that one as soon as I saw the problem. It's so thin that it probably would collapse if my cat jumped on it. Are you in the autobody field?

Kind of. I went to a community college and learned allot of working with sheet metal, then after that I got a job in a hotrod shop where I did allot of fiberglassing before I quite. Now I clean pools.

Cool interior. Keep an eye on Ebay, you may find a wrecked & parting R8. That's probably the most economical way to do it. Design work & tooling a new interior like that from scratch will require a substantial amount work hours & alot of loose $change$ to create.

Unfortunately you're right. This interior would be very expensive. I'm sure even the junk yard R8 - if there is such a thing would probably expensive. I've noticed how expensive Lambo interiors from wrecked cars are, I have no reason to believe that this Audi interior will be any cheaper.

How about a custom interior with an Amida touch, inspired by the Audi interior, Gallardo interior, Aston Martin Vanquish, and Fiero. Maybe even with touches of this one: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/064396.html <--- I call this the "white unicorn" interior, as it is just about as elusive to track down, and just about as rare.

When you ever have some spare time, I'd love to see sketches you come up with for the above interior.

Your interiors are just gorgeous. I'd dare to say, better than the real thing.
