HI, My name is Doug Audretch and I am with a shop in cincinnati ohio called Spade kreations. We just finish with a noble were did alot of cool things to it. The first thing we did was pull the dash and made a carbon fiber dash for it. It still has the factory shape. Here is a list of other things we did- carbon fiber console, carbon fiber rear air diffuser, carbon fiber front lip, new carpet and padding, hidden compartment, custom lighting, painted calipers and door handles, flipout monitor with back up camera, radar/laser jammer, custom center dash piece (puts radio in center of dash, custom dome light behind mirror, carbon fiber door panels, custom polish aluminium HRE wheels with center caps milled 2 say 3R, alpine stereo system with 1-8 inch jl audio woofer in custom box, tinted windows, 2-way remote start alarm, changed all lights in gauges to blue, navigation and other small things. I can provide pics or answer any question to whom ever asks. Just send me an email to douglas.audretch@fuse.net and I will email you pics. Check out are website www.SPADEKREATIONS.COM. Doug

Well stop me if I am wrong, but that sounds pretty damn interesting.

I hope you know how to up-load photos and have got a big memory card. May I suggest on behalf of all Nobility that you rush out and get snapping away at all the pre-mentioned mods!!

Blimey guvnor, I had half of these mods on my would- love-to-improve-my-Noble list! :-)

Re the hidden storage - luv it but suggest you don't post where it is on here for security reasons!

You are talking to a whole sackful of potential Nobility customers here - looking forward to the photos and will you ship outside the US?! :-)

Thanks caccobra! This guy has been very busy - superb work - just love that dash centre unit with the radio and radar (for UK read GPS!) where you can get at them! :-)

Bling!

Nice idea about the stereo, not sure I like the rest of it (but then I never liked cream leather so not sure if that's putting me off as well).

Done with great skill.

It's heavier than standard

Bit Gary for me.

Is the Dash a different shape or is it just the metal face plate that is different - I do like the stereo bing there.

IMHO the main improvement is that the CD player is reachable from the drivers seat and the door speaker isn't quite so obvious [but I still can't here the stereo above the glorious racket from the engine and induction so who cares really).

I think the added reflection off the top of the dash may be a hinderence (it might look nice but wait until the sun reflects off it onto the windscreen). The wheels are well, soooo BLING.

Now what I'd really like to get hold of are some floormats that are shaped to fit over the cross bar that you step on every time you slide into the seat - the carpet on the cross bar is getting filthy at the moment.

I actually took my dash out today, wasn't sure I'd be able to with out taking the windscreen out but a quick phone call to the factory and Rodger told me how its done no problem!!

Of to the trimmers to have it done in alcantara, Like the reshape of the handbrake area on the carbon one its really nice, but I think it will reflect on the screen!!

Dave, I'll be interested in seeing how neatly the trimmers get material around those curves - especially the "bullet" shapes above the instrument pod!

oh dear I don't like any of those mods. I just can't seem to find a way of liking that centre console. It's just too busy.

The rest of it just looks too "stuck" on to be natural.

What colour is the car. Looks too light to be indigo and too dark to be azure. Has it been re-sprayed.

Like the interior light mod. I think the cheap looking square std light lets the standard interiors down a little.

Will these mods be available for us to buy?

to most of them.

I've just had another peek at the photos and realised the window winders are missing. I take it that electric motors have been fitted. Can you tell me which ones please?

I think I would have chosen to try to put the guages above the stereo where you would actaully be able to see them while driving and put the "idiot lights" at the bottom, but other than that....nice job! Very creative.
