Well thanks to some great craftmanship from Kip and some helpful tips from Shadowman, I installed Kip's carbon fiber gage panel today. Only took about an hour. I must say that this is my favorite piece of cf on the car. I get to look at it all the time. Makes the dash look the way this supercar should have looked from Ford.

Thanks for the panel, Kip, and thanks for the help, Shadowman.

Kip, how is the luggage coming? Any pictures?

I agree and thank you for the kind words

Now make sure that you still keep your eyes on the road.

All the best

Sorry, seems the lowest setting on my camera is still to large of a file.

Place them in a folder on your computer's desktop ... then highlight them ... right click ... send to ... mail recipient ... select reduced size ... then when the email window opens send them to yourself and they will be received as reduced size ...

There are other ways but this is relatively easy

Takes care

Would you really install a carbon fiber part on your GT? You're just kidding right?

I got mine from Kip a couple weeks ago, but I just haven't had time to install it. Here are some pics of it. Workmanship is very nice. Has a holographic appearance.

It is a fun install, but worth it.

"Boast guage", now that is a Freudian if I ever heard one!

Trust me, when it is pegged at 20lbs I am to busy to be paying attention to it. :)

CF gauge panels and luggage

Yeah, Kip....How is the luggage coming???????:banana

Thanks to my clients who have posted compliments on the gauge panels.
It is good to seem some installed!!!

I've got 6 more gauge panels that will be finished early in December.

As to the luggage question; the pattern is about finished. I've been burried with producing the current range of parts, so I contracted the pattern making to a retired-Ford-clay-modeler-buddy. He is painfully slow, but he is a brilliant clay modeler. The finished product is really, really going to be cool. The lower half that meets the trunk surface is leather trimmed, as not to get scuffed as clear coated carbon would. All the upper surfaces are carbon.

As to other new products;
We just finished molding the first set of interior door panels. They really turned out cool. I won't be posting photos until I have a few sets ready to ship. Meeting initial demand without making people wait too long has been difficult with so many recent product introductions.

Thanks for all the interest in the parts. Our web site will be up soon. Go ahead and bookmark; www.kipewing.com!

Cheers all

Kip
