3dCarbon Wins Ford Design Award

NEWPORT BEACH, CA– 3dCarbon was awarded Ford Design’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Design for its all-new 2009 Ford Flex styling at the 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV. The 2009 “Euro Series” Ford Flex 11-piece styling kit is the embodiment of European aerodynamics fused with American hot rod styling.

The interior was outfitted in a custom leather Katzkin interior with carbon fiber inserts and white stitching. The headrests were equipped with Invision headrest monitors and the dash had a carbon fiber insert by Race Skinz. The windows, headlights and taillights were tinted with a smoke finish by
Sundial. The chassis was modified with a 1” drop with Eibach suspension springs. The Flex was shown with NC Forged “NC FIVE” 24” 3-piece aluminum wheels and Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires.
