My obsession for car modification erupted at the hands of a Jetta. A modified MK3 Jetta slammed to the ground on H&R Springs. A Wings West Body Kit, 16” wheels, fully built suspension, and best of all murdered out (or blacked out for those unfamiliar with the term). I was 15 years old and purchasing carbon fiber trim pieces before I had my license. I was the only teenager I knew willing to blow my tiny paycheck on modifications, but I couldn’t slow down my obsession was full blown. I turned my front grille emblem upside down and blacked it out.

My first emblem design. 

I crawled inside and removed dash pieces, trim, headliner, anything that could be painted and converted to art. I can’t speak to the quality, but the desire was running through my veins and that is truly where it began. 

As many car enthusiasts will understand I was displeased with all the chrome floating about in the automotive world and wondered why this had never been addressed. I saw the industry moving into more chrome and cookie cutter looks. I wanted to break that mold. My goal though was not just to change this growing issue with beautiful colors and patterns but to take it even further. I wanted these pieces signifying art and to capture an expression of the vehicle’s theme. 

Fast forward to my business, Deep Blue Chrome.

I have now been in business for several years selling carbon fiber patterned emblems and trim pieces. I have a large clientele, and many repeat customers. It is thrilling to help a customer design and bring forth their vision. Custom projects are my passion, to date I have not faced an artistic challenge that I couldn’t exceed.
