The 2001 Lexus IS300 – A Favorite of Carbon Fiber Lovers Everywhere
When we received Jordan’s rebate submission for his customer installation photos of the precut black carbon fiber dash kit he’d applied in his 2001 Lexus IS300 I had planned to write a post about how rare it was to receive pics of kits installed in the Lexus lines we carry. However, once I’d edited the [...]
B-Pillar Modifications with R24 Carbon Fiber Film
We recently receive rebate photos from our customer Damian who purchased an R24 carbon fiber wrap kit and used it to create custom B-pillar and C-pillar covers for his 2005 Toyota Corolla. The R24 carbon sheet is a 3D, texturized self-adhesive film which looks like real carbon fibre although it has a semi-gloss finish. We [...]
The 2008 Cadillac CTS – Entry-Level Luxury
Over the years Cadillac has seen its fortunes ebb and flow, being considered alternately a true luxury conveyance and a throw-back to times past. The 2008 Cadillac CTS, however, is a pendulum swing back to luxury despite the fact that the CTS is the entry-level model for the brand. The confidence that GM felt in [...]
The 2011 Mazda 3 – Zoom Zoom Zoom
The 2011 Mazda 3 is intended to be a compact-car that offers the best of both worlds: a sporty ride and a purely pragmatic family vehicle. While many a reviewer has expressed doubts that the Mazda 3 can fill both roles adequately there’s simply no question that the performance and styling of the 3 are [...]
The 2003 Mazda RX-8 – A Veritable Mongoose in a Snake Pit
The 2003 Mazda RX-8 represented the next evolutionary phase of the venerable tradition which made Mazda the winner of the 1991 Le Mans and marked the return of the Wankel rotary engine which had gone the way of the dinosaur with the end of the RX-7 in 1995. One look at its feline front fascia and curvaceous body and any car [...]
2005 Ford F-150 Super Crew – Pre-cut Smoked Tail Light
The 2004 F150 received a ridiculous amount of awards (more than 30 in fact) including the North American Truck of the Year and the 2005 model simply improved upon its near-perfect predecessor with a wider arrange of trim options and optional V6. The 2005 Super Crew offers an exceptional ride and handling characteristics, attractive and [...]
The 2003 Mazda Mazda-6 – Is it a Mazda6 or a Mazda 6?
I’ve never been quite sure what the convention is for writing about the Mazda Mazda Six…Is it acceptable to simply say 6 in mixed company (that is when not surrounded by Mazdaphiles) or does one always have to specify that the vehicle in question is the Mazda 6? I think Mazda is trying to capture [...]
Rvinyl Pre-cut Window Tint for the 2005 Ford Escape
The Ford Escape was first released in 2000 as a 2001 model year as a cross-over compact SUV much like the Mitsubishi Outlander. Sold i Europe as the Maverick Ford once again teamed-up with Mazda to develop the vehicle and subsequently released their own version as the Tribute. Before Ford canned the Mercury brand in [...]
Samantha’s R24 Carbon Fiber Dash Kit in her 2007 G5 SE Sedan
Despite having been discontinued by GM, the Pontiac brand continues be being a favorite among auto accessory enthusiasts. In fact, in less than a month’s time we have received no less than three customer photo submissions highlighting G5 and Grand Prix dash kits. It really makes me scratch my head and wonder why GM pulled Pontiac in favor of Buick but I’m [...]
Rvinyl Pre-cut Carbon Fiber Dash Kit – 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
The Genesis Coupe was a surprise to many people in the automotive community–what was a company like Hyundai with no racing pedigree doing releasing a challenger to its venerable Japanese rivals like the 350Z? But, to the chagrin of many nay-sayers, the Genesis Coupe released in March of 2009 is a sleek, fast and powerful ride with superb handling and a low [...]
