I was thinking of flying this hockey jersey from my antennae mast, but I can't seem to find the mast?

VFX: As THE most prolific poster on TMC, may I ask if this is the first and only picture of a Model S Airbag?
If so, does that qualify me for a Peabody award?

Custom made, hand carved, beige color to match the interior, but what's the 'extra' mat for?

Back to the Future! :wink:

That's the first thing that came to my mind too when I saw that brushed silver. If the ever do a remake of BTTF, we now know what car they should choose :wink:

Frunk?

That silver is bananas and the t on the mats is nice! Wish I could see mine better.

I'm a distant second to TEG and he has an encyclopedic memory and internet search skills that are so good they are spooky. I'm just a TMC kibitzer.

Your new wayback (BTTF) machine will certainly have you being Sherman.

As far as the airbag pic goes take your bows. Others are surely jealous.

I just highlighted a few salient points because everyone can be happy if everything goes right. But the true test of a company is seeing what happens when things go wrong and life is how you handle Plan B!
Additionally, like a Tesla, Elie found some enhancements for you and wanted your CONTINUED satisfaction, even after you drove off the lot! Thanx for sharing!

Could you please refer to
Wrapping help
and tell me the difference.
Is your "stainless steel" shiny or dull?
The product my wrapper used is horrible. Avery. Having it (hood and fender) removed this week.
Wrapping company - have no issue with them - simply trying to find a product that actually looks like Cherry Red (or Signature Red (burgundy)) when applied to my black S.
What brand is your film?

I've got a short video of a Roadster airbag being intentionally set off because it was removed from a car and so can't be re-used.

That's a fantastic job. The logo is embroidered, right? Did al & Ed's do the work or farm it out? I'd like to get that done but I'm on the east coast and can't find anyone here who can do that work on thick capers.

Is the extra mat for the frunk?
Are you going to fix the front bumper scrape, or just leave it under the wrap?

Thanx for your inquiry.

My product is Avery, but I will tell you that the wrapper (not rapper-LOL) suggested 3M for all others but for the brushed because of the grains being more consistent and in horizontal with the Avery. Initially I was going with chrome which would have had WAY more WOW factor, but again the wrapper said that the chrome scratches easy and is suitable for a garage-queen, but not for a daily-driver. At that point we were with 3M. Only when I chose, from the swatches, brushed sequence did h recommend the Avery.

I think mine would be considered more dull than brilliant or shiny, but the brushed aluminum is not dull like matte!

I love those mats! Did Al & Ed's Do them?

Did Al & Ed's do the mats?

Looks like the perfect shade of a stainless steel, wow. Sharp indeed...

Repaired most of it; the rest, well, the truth is under wraps :wink:

I will be getting my black car wrapped in April...satin pearl white with black pano roof, black front grill and both rear and side rocker panels also black...or maybe CF! I will post pics after the 20th !

Currently...

That brushed aluminum should look pretty awesome. i can't wait to see the completed project.

 

[Soflason]

I'd like to see a black carbon fibre on a Model S. Just curious if it would work with the nose cone.

A huge fan of the brushed aluminum here, amazing, but, re: CF nosecone CF treatment as enhancement, I like it too - saw someone tried it here:
