We had a special request to develop carbon fiber diffuser vanes. I had to scratch my head for a while to figure out the best way to tool these up. I wanted to do it in as few pieces as possible, and as few seams as possible. We managed to tool each diffuser in two pieces and bond them together...

So, we just wrapped up a major refurbishment effort of a brilliant GTX1. It was a complicated build, but came out really slick. The car is Lamborghini Orange Pearl. It is equipped with Dymag carbon/magnesium wheels and loads of our carbon fiber. The car is just custom, throughout. Here is the...

Greetings all It's been a while since I've posted. We've been way, way busy. Just finishing up a major refurbishment of a wild GTX1, and developing a new website. More details soon on that GTX1, but in the meantime, please check out the new site. www.kipewing.com

OK, so we've been quiet for a while.... Working mostly on GTX1 roofs and our regular parts production, as well as ever-increasing contract manufacturing for other firms. I've had loads of requests to produce aero parts for the GT, so the past couple of weeks, I've had one of my crew pattern up...

Greetings All I am having a very informal get-together at the shop on Tuesday starting at 7:00pm. The shop address is 4706 Fernlee in Royal Oak. This is just east of Coolidge and south of 14 mile. PM me or ring me at 313 595 8579, so I know how prepared to be. Cheers and Merry Christmas to...

Greetings All We have one remaining aluminum radio bracket remaining in stock. I am doubtful that we can complete any more before the end of the year. If anyone was interested in receiving one for Christmas, do send the responsible party our way. (texalium shown, but Aluminum is available...

It pains me to miss this year's rally. So many of you have become good friends, and this is the one chance I get to see many of you each year. I used most of my vacation time working in Haiti this year, the rest of it finishing a couple of customer cars. I won't miss next year, for sure. We...

Here's what I think is one of the coolest things we've come up with yet. We've sold tons of our carbon fiber storage conversion kits. However; I got a lot of feedback from owners that didn't wish to modify their original center tunnel. Here is your solution to have a real center console...

We've been doing a pretty wild interior for a client recently. Anything that was silver in the car, we are making in Texalium. Anything that was black plastic or metal in the interior, we are making in carbon. One of the new things we have made for this project are the steering wheel spokes...

OK here's the second new part introduction for the day. Again; by Shadowman's encouragement, we now offer a carbon fiber wicker for the GT. This really turned out slick. It is not a wrap or a cover, but rather a total carbon fiber part. We worked out all the wavy-ness of the original...

OK, we've been silent for a while... A bit swamped completing the tooling for the GTX1 roof seals and staying involved with the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Just got back from two weeks there. Here's the first new product introduction of the day; carbon fiber seat belt bezels. Thanks...

Greetings All After what can only be described as an epic development process, we are finally ready to take orders for the Double DIN radio brackets. This has been a very involved packaging and tooling task. No changes to the lower IP are required with this installation. It is a direct swap...

Greetings All We recently completed the first two parts of an aero body kit we are producing for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. We offer a front splitter and a rear Kamm tail. In future weeks, we will also be offering side splitters and a diffuser. We don't have images up on the web site, but...

Greetings All Here's some teaser pics on the double DIN radio bracket we are developing. This has been really, really involved. There is only one position for a double DIN, with a motorized face plate, to go into a GT. It took a while to resolve the packaging. A significant objective for the...

Well, here we go! It is always fun to cut up a perfectly good supercar. After many requests, I've been worn down by a determined GTX1 owner and have started work on designing (and producing) a functional roof and sealing system for the GTX1. The job requires that the door caps that Genaddi...

Greetings All Finally getting around to posting photos of the carbon mirrors we have been making. These included a new motor, harness, and mirror. They utilize all of the original factory attachments. Interested parties, please PM me. Sorry for the poor photos... These are like shooting a...

Greetings All Here's something that I believe to be an industry first. I received a special request from a certain moderator... It was a good challenge, too. We molded the GTX1 graphic into scoops before, but this was new. The challenge was to deboss the graphic and make it in contrasting...

Greetings All Here we go with another new part introduction this week! After many requests, I've developed a carbon version of the handbrake bezel. This part is compatible with the original magnesium tunnel, or the carbon tunnels we produce. This is a full carbon part, even the retention...

Greetings All Well after a long development phase, I am ready to announce the availability of our carbon fiber AC vents. We are now ready to take orders. These were a load of work. It's the first time we've employed a two sided cavity mold to produce carbon parts. We start with an original...

Greetings All The DUB Tour rolled into Detroit on Saturday, and it afforded us the opportunity to introduce a new carbon upgrade right in our own back yard. This is our first Lamborghini component, the front trunk lid for Gallardos. There are a lot of trunk lids for a lot of cars out there...
