It's painters tape, at least that's what it looks like. You can pick it up at any paint shop or automotive store.

Looks like they're using it to protect those gorgeous wheels

Correct, 3M painters tape. We use a lot of it. It is for protection to avoid scratches on the wheels.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words. I will pass them along to the guys that do the work. They are some of the best in the business.

You guys make by far the coolest cleanest meanest cars I've ever seen. I'm in awe of every car that comes out of that place.



BTW, the carbon gauge panel that you made for the SS street car, do you plan on selling those as blanks? I'm wanting to do that but can't find anyone who makes one.

They definately do insane work! I wish we could steal even one customer from them a year to do that kinda stuff, we do big projects, but they definately do the crazy one off things.

We can't exactly take credit for that dash completely. I decided to use a pre-made gauge panel this time around. There is a member on this board that makes them. We covered the one on that car with a carbon overlay. We have made them from scratch in the past though. Just decided to take a small short cut this time.

That's a nice idea. Ingenuity at work there. I also like the panel.. It makes for a nice clean cluster look.

Can you give the info for the guy that made the panel? If not, just PM me Todd.

I've seen those gauge panels for sale before. They look sweet.

You guys definetly do some of the best work I've ever seen. I like how everything has a focus on performance. Many shops (not on here) are just resto / we make your car look good shops. I love that you guys take every single aspect into account; performance, looks, streetability. You can see that in every car you do. Big thumbs up from me.
