Had a chance to shoot this heavily modified Yellow FRS.

This shot was in my head before getting there already.

Does he have any other blue in the cabin other than the sweid?
I'd have done a saddle brown on that yellow...


I know a guy with a yellow car, now that I think about it!
I wonder how suede would do over some small details in the TL...might be a good solution to our messed up center console sides.

Yeah, she confirmed that she can easily do it. Just need to purchase another sewing machine tools and the actual threads for the automotive use.

Just trying to build up the brand for another six months first though. If everything checks out, should have a much larger referral pool and a running website by then. So I don't have to meet too many people.
I'll be in touch if I haven't got my pieces done by then

He has a very similar blue color Recaro seats! I'm working on the photos tonight, so will share it. His set up is actually very legit. It's turbocharged, 290whp.

Suede literally works on any panel. I would love to work on a 3G TL. I'm going to do some trim pieces on my Avant soon too!

hahahaha I have so many friends who want to just fly me over and do the cars. Gather up friends to do it at the same time, I don't mind it. hahahahaha

Does the free photoshoot still happen if I'm out of state?

I look forward to seeing the new pictures! How many vehicles have you worked on so far? And how's your BRZ doing?

hahaha Of course!! Just fly me out to you. hahahaha

I need to work on all the photos today. And I have became a vendor for certain LA FB pages, so need to make the pricing sheet and all those soon!

Probably 65 cars? I need to update my sheet. haha

My BRZ has been great, I didn't really do anything after I stocked it out. I got a killer deal on a stock wheel set with 225 RS3s on. So I've been enjoying the car in the canyons three to four times a week. The car is a blast to drive.

I have some plans drawn for it. I will have to make it as a SWEIDIT demo car, so I'm putting together a little deck for it. Trying to get some full/partial sponsorship going for my car. Will probably do a wrap job outside with logos as well. It would be awesome if I can get a lot of parts and track days covered by some brands. I'm an admin for my local canyon/track group called Socal Lateral G and I manage several 86 car part pages in LA, so I do have some good leverage to push for. Hopefully it will work out well!

hahahaha I will maybe buy a new car for you too and do it, how's that?

Well damn...
and this whole time I thought you were probably some a bean counter.
You're way too cool. You're gonna get banned for it!

Silver trim pieces so it doesn't disrupt the theme in the car...
or camel brown to kinda bring some warmth into the interior...

So many possibilities!

haha yeah! I usually don't work on the car if the owner is trying to do some shitty theme. Everything has to be tastefully done!

haha it's already a job!

sometimes I get annoyed talking to dumb people and dealing with a couple of flakers here and there.

But it is so much better than doing a freaking conference call all day in the office listening to clients nagging voice.

I'm planning to make this as a side business once I build it up for about an year. Thinking of venturing into Alcantara steering wheel service later on too. A lot of those services are super expensive since not a lot of people can actually do it professionally.

Wanted to pursue my real estate job or some other positions for businesses, not for ad agency.

Went up to ACH for a nice cruise solo after meeting someone for work at the bottom of the canyon.

And found two of my friends doing photoshoot. haha

So I crashed their party. It was so bright there.

Forgot to post this photo. I was out at Buttonwillow track several weeks ago. My car is currently all stock except for the brake pads and track pipe. But my friend just opened up a shop and wanted me to test out some parts. Had RPF1s, KW Clubsports Coilovers, and EBC rotors with Hawk DTC brake pads. Everything was perfect except the tires. The shop didn't have enough time to source me the tires I wanted, so it just came with Toyo T1 Sport which were obviously not sticky tires. haha

It was a fun day though. Brought out almost 30 members from my canyon run group in LA. Such a blast with more friends out there, just chilling all day long.

Worked on this E46 M3 a week ago. He had to leave but stopped him for 5 mins to take some photos in front of my house. He's a track instructor. One of my favorite cars all time.

Do you do any stitching as well or just solid pieces? Do you only use the particular material you order or can you use extra suede I have that is from my fabric my seats are done in?

No stitching yet! We only work with our Microsuede, but if your fabric is slightly stretchable, we might be able to work with it. PM or FB msg away!
