    First and foremost, thank you to ARK Performance (http://www.arkperformance.com) for involving us in with this project. I understand that this is not a Subaru, but you must admit that the little Veloster is a neat (toy) car [​IMG]

    ARK contacted us a few weeks ago to inquire whether or not we would be interested in joining them on a concept project for this years SEMA show. We agreed to lend a hand and are pleased to be apart of their team on this vehicle. There's a heck of a lot going on with this project and ARK is doing a bang up job on the design for this Veloster. The exterior aesthetic is strong and Joe and I are excited (to say the least) to see the vehicle in a few weeks at SEMA 2011 -- Las Vegas, NV [​IMG]

    I will update this thread when we have uploaded photos of completed items.

    Cheers,

    We have not had much working time with the Veloster parts as they arrived via freight in the last few days. I snagged a few photographs of the seats, center console, armrest and shift boot to share with you all. Additional photographs and information available on our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/JPMCoachworks. So far we have completed the following...


    1. Driver & Passenger Front Seats
    2. Headliner
    3. Shift Boot + Shift Knob
    4. Dash Upper
    5. Center Console
    6. Center Armrest
    7. Sun Visors

    I think those cars are cool looking... it will be interesting to see if the aftermarket does better with them then the genesis.

    One of my co-workers just got one of these... I had no idea what it was when I pulled in this morning. I think its pretty sweet! I didn't get a ride... But just going by looks. Nice wheels, pseudo-race seats.. put together well (no excessive gaps in panels etc..). Supposedly 40mpg... And room enough for a rather large guy....

    Apologies for the lack of updates. My free time is just now beginning to return...just in time to fly out to the SEMA show in a few days. Phew!

    We're rather curious to see if the aftermarket works out better for these than the Genesis as well. Regardless it was a fun project and we are excited to be able to have a few pieces of our work in Hyundai's booth at this year's SEMA show :) This is vehicle #3 for us and frankly, I don't think our hands (or sleep schedules) could have supported a fourth, regardless of how cool the opportunity. Here's the quick rundown; I'll be sure to post a better thread about this later today:

    (1) 2011 Ford Raptor, featured in the Addictive Desert Designs booth.
    (2) 2012 Hyundai Veloster, featured in the Hyundai manufacturer booth.
    (3) 2011 Subaru WRX STI sedan, featured in the Deatschwerks booth

    Other fun projects as of late have included working with a Lamborghini Espada (full dash, etc) and a Lamborghini Gallardo (steering wheel, etc).

    Here are a few exterior shots of the Luxury Performance Raptor exterior. These were taken by Steve Nissle outside of Addictive Desert Designs in Arizona. This thing is a serious BEAST :lol:

    you guys are really doing top-shelf work :)

    i saw a veloster in-person a few weeks ago. very cool looking it really looks like it could be a fun car. i hope it does well, cause the oem specs are a bit lacking for my taste.

    The new Velociter is so sick. I was trying to find your booth but had no luck since its like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. What section were you guys in?
