Limited Edition

Satin

2010-07-19T23:53:00.000-07:00

New finish available for all CF products. Semi-matte clear. The original clear coat is still available. The new semi-matte clear gives the surface a more satin-like shine as opposed to a reflective shine.

Here's a few (mirror covers, steering bezel, interior door handle)

Summer time

2010-06-29T23:34:00.001-07:00

Been extremely busy with many many things. Life, travels, gather portfolio images, travels, Limited Edition stuff, and hunting. Will look to have more updates soon with pictures from SF and Vegas.

For now, here are some pictures from when I swapped out the Injen CAI filters to the cool blue non-oiled ones. Old ones were waaay overdue for a change.

Someone had asked to see the installed pics of the AIT sides so here's the current status with the Stillen splitter (curtesy of TheChemist) and AIT sides.

Irvine Spectrum Meet

2010-06-13T23:42:00.000-07:00

Went to the Irvine Spectrum meet that is held once an year. Have to say that this year's turn out was not that great. A lot of cars still showed up but last year's was better. Still a lot of cool people went, also a lot of people that looked like they're too fast, too furious, and too douchey. I still can't get used to it but I guess it comes with the territory.

My awesome parking job

1mm of clearance, baby!

At the end of the day, I was tired. Being out in the sun for the afternoon took its toll. Didn't want to wait an hour for the rotating sushi place. So we went to Tokyo Table, which was very nice. I won the argument that I actually know the waitress (because I remember faces).

The best part of the meet was seeing your own product on someone else's car. When things get shipped out to all over the US, Canada, and UAE, it's nice to know people are willing to pay for your work. But sometimes it's not about sales, pride or even sense of accomplishment, but the fact that someone out there enjoys something you've created.

ARK BBQ meet

2010-05-23T23:45:00.000-07:00

Went to the BBQ meet hosted by ARK. Thanks to Ted, Alex and everyone from ARK, the turn out was great. About 120 people attended. All 150lbs of meat were gone in about an hour or 2. Lots of different cars and different people.

I ate Korean BBQ, bumped into old friends, drank a Pepsi, talked to girls, played with doggies, and took some photos.

Notes: Yay for VIP parking. 2nd photo is a $15,000 suspension setup!

Hi Baby

2010-05-17T22:58:00.000-07:00

Went to nice 1st birthday party for baby Vanessa. The hosts, Liza and Van graciously extended the invite. I chased the kids around, ate a ton of food (couldn't help it because everything looked too good), and took some photos.

Out with the old

2010-05-02T22:05:00.001-07:00

Finally selling my Tanubes. It has been a great exhaust, really love the sound, more exotic and mature/classy. I still like it a lot, contemplated about just keeping it since it seems like a lot are looking to pick one up but not many are selling. But here it is, hopefully the next person can appreciate it as much as I did.

Pricing and details can be found on the myG forum or contact me for more.

Busy busy

2010-04-28T00:07:00.000-07:00

Thanks for everyone that has participated in the group buy across more than 1 forums and all the continuing support!

Onto the new stuff. New headlight design for the coupe.

Flat black housing
Flat black side marker
High grade LEDs (life time warranty)
Cool white

The new design change utilizes the entire length of the clear shroud opening. The older ArcReactor uses only the tip of the clear and points the LED forward, creating a ring effect, which looks nice but the viewing angle is greatly restricted. Once the viewer moves away from the center, front of the vehicle, the ring effect disappears.

The new LEDs are wide angled and are directed outward, away from the shroud, to be seen from a much wider viewing angle. The light also scatters and bounces off the chrome, creating interesting reflections against the surface.

Please contact danny@lmted.com for info on pricing.

What's happening here?

Updates coming soon.

Steering wheel piece

2010-04-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

For some time now, the button area on my steering wheel have been scratched up from wear and tear. I use those buttons all the time to control the radio and what not. Since the matte finish isn't the best, scratches easily developed. Finally had the time to do some R&D and push out a CF piece to alleviate this annoyance.

I like it a lot because it's a intermediate step (more affordable one) from the full CF steering wheel conversion, which is available upon request as well. Special order only. Comes with Alcantara grip, new stitching, CF flat bottom and CF top. Picture will be posted in 1 a few weeks!

Still working out the details on pricing...etc. But here it is, the carbon fiber steering wheel bezel!

CF wide body 330 and friend

2010-04-07T22:42:00.000-07:00

Random photo at iForged. Email me for pricing!

Wide bodied, super charged 330 with a sexy rear end (!) resurrected from the dead. CF everywhere, including interior, hood, fenders, trunk.....etc. Running on piano black Forgestar F14s. The stage 3 clutch felt like I was doing a leg press whenever I would need to shift. Pretty intense.

Not sure what this is?? But late at night, the garage was left open and he got in because I guess it was warm. Found a shoe box so I picked him up by his tail, wearing gloves. He was more frightened than anything but looked liked a cool cat, so I named him Frank. I've seen Frank's mom before around the front yard.......It was late at night a few weeks ago. I came back in through the front door and discovered a cat-sized creature sitting there. Our eyes met, I said "oh hai" but she ignored me and continued with her midnight stroll. I felt very rejected so I went back inside and ate ice cream. Anyway, I decided to take some pictures and let Frank go and he scurried away, hopefully to safety.

TOMORROW. I will have updates on the release of a new CF part for the coupe AND sedan folks. Check back tomorrow night!

Gen Coupe CF headlights

2010-04-07T22:09:00.000-07:00

Had the opportunity to work on a pair of Gen Coupe headlights. Really glad with how the CF turned out with the contours and edges. There's still things that can be improved so it's not perfect. Hopefully next pair will be even better. This one belongs to a full show car/track car. I'd like to not post any pictures right now since you can see it in its entirety (lots of CF!) at the ARK's upcming BBQ meet, which I will be attending as a vendor. WOO! Korean BBQ!

Need to decide soon, should I get this!?? Arrgghh.....

Malibu Canyon Run 2010

2010-04-04T23:55:00.000-07:00

Few weekends ago, I went up to Malibu for the annual Malibu Canyon run. Pretty fun as usually, everyone followed the rules, no crashes and trouble with the popo. Good times.

Also, on the way best, I checked my NAV for a good route home. Found an awesome road, Latigo Canyon Rd. No traffic, fun corners, and very quiet. Just you and the road.

PS. The more professional looking photos (second half) were shot by professional photographer Omar G.

Cafe Gallery

2010-03-25T23:19:00.000-07:00

Went to a exhibit cafe to get some food before heading back to UCLA. Lots of cool stuff but no gallery that day.

Front of the secret cafe, no sign.

Poo on a stick

Oh hai

Very good macha green milk tea

Very good sweet potato fries and sandwich

It was blaring party mix, I had to go in to investigate

The warehouse

2010-03-16T23:00:00.000-07:00

After making some arrangements for an upcoming CF project (Go Canada!), I stopped by Richie's warehouse aka the playground last week. Too much fun stuff, not enough pictures.

David's X6M

Aston Martin DB9. Went for a ride (in a similar but different DB9), the only way to describe the torque was.....ridiculous. From 0-5mph, the NA V12 takes you by surprise and turn you into a bobble head. I think we got up to 100mph (on a closed racing course).

The instrument clusters has spot light LEDs projector downward, very nice touch. The tach sweeps counter-clockwise, pretty cool too.

Instrument for this Autobiography Range Rover is 100% digital, meaning what you see right there is just a LCD screen. There is no actual mechanical needles or numbering on it, just displayed images that reflects real time what your car is doing.

Richie's real Katana, very sharp.

More news on the bumper design

2010-03-09T23:57:00.000-08:00

Here are some more pictures on the new bumper as many have requested. Thanks for all the interest. The bumper is ready for order.

This is a replacement bumper. I wasn't part of the design team but the vision was to offer a subtle, sporty yet classy alternative to the stock rear. I'm glad to say that we have achieved just that. As you can see from the pictures below, the part has been very carefully crafted to ensure top notch quality and OEM fitment.

Optional: 2x2 carbon fiber weave option for the diffuser area, with automotive clear.

CF grill

2010-03-08T23:39:00.000-08:00

I really love the way the G grill is designed. Inspired by the blades of a Samurai, I think the entire piece is very classy yet aggressive. I've been waiting a long time to do a carbon fiber version. Thanks to a recent client for stepping up and delivering the grill all the way from NC to CA!

New bumper

2010-03-08T23:20:00.000-08:00

After our meeting, I have to give props to all the guys that made this possible. A lot of hard work and dedication went into developing this new part for the G community. I didn't have a hand in it so I can't take any credit. The group that stands behind this though, is very well known in the G community. They shall remain nameless for now but I'm glad I have the opportunity to bring forth something of this quality.

The prototype has perfect fitment, from which the mold has been made. Everything is ready for order!

More picture to come. Here is a teaser....

New sedan headlight conversion

2010-03-04T23:03:00.000-08:00

After weeks of research on new parts and R&D, here is the latest and greatest for the sedan headlights.

-White LED around the projector lens (reflection off the lens)
-Clear signal lens (all credit goes to Randy)
-Clear side marker lens (all credit goes to Randy)
-White LED inside the projector slits
-White side marker LEDs
-Flat black paint (Randy)
-S2K lens swap

The most exciting feature is the LEDs around the lens. It's the new part that I sought long and hard after but finally obtained (with life time warranty too)! The owner of the vehicle helped out on the install tremendously. Also, big thanks to Mr.blueslate for his patience on the prototyping.

If you have a coupe and would like to be the first to rock the new LED option, let me know.

Rain

2010-03-03T23:50:00.000-08:00

So in a hurry to get outside to take some pictures in the intermittent rain, I managed to lock myself out of the house....

An hour and $120 later, I finally was able to get back in thanks to the locksmith.

And all I got were these pictures, YAY!:

P.S. Check back tomorrow for updates on new sedan headlights
