Satin. Gloss. Turbonite.

Sometimes it’s not about adding more, it’s about choosing the right details.

In collaboration with our friends at Austin Film Solutions, this Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT received a full XPEL Stealth PPF transformation, giving the factory paint a rich satin finish while providing long-term protection.

To complete the look, we refinished the factory wheels in gloss black, custom painted the brake calipers in Porsche yellow at the owner’s request, and updated the factory crest to Porsche’s new Turbonite emblem. Individually, each change is subtle. Together, they create a completely different presence.

This is what happens when every detail has a purpose.

A Ferrari deserves more than a tire shop.

A new 21”/22” wheel and tire package has completely transformed the stance of this Ferrari 812 Superfast, but the real story is how those wheels were installed.

Every wheel is mounted on our Corghi Artiglio Master 28 touchless tire changer, one of the most advanced tire mounting systems in the industry. Its leverless design is engineered to safely mount today’s ultra-low-profile performance tires while minimizing the risk of damage to expensive wheels.

Once mounted, each wheel and tire assembly is analyzed on our Corghi Eyelight Diagnostic Balancer. Using advanced laser scanning technology, the Eyelight measures the wheel and tire as an assembly, allowing us to optimize the installation with a level of precision that traditional balancing methods simply can’t match.

From mounting and balancing to alignment, every step is performed in-house using equipment selected specifically for today’s most valuable performance vehicles. It’s the same class of wheel service equipment trusted by some of the world’s most demanding manufacturers, and it’s the standard we bring to every vehicle that enters our shop, whether it’s a Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, or a daily driver.

This 812 has been evolving with us over time, and its latest chapter is a wheel package that perfectly complements the existing Novitec suspension while giving the car an even more purposeful stance.

At Driven By Design, we don’t just install premium parts.

We invest in premium equipment, premium processes, and the expertise to use them, because luxury isn’t just the parts you choose, it’s the care taken when installing them.

600 horsepower deserves more than a detail… it deserves a vision.

This Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 came to Driven By Design for the finishing touches that separate an incredible truck from a truly personalized one.

We protected the entire truck in XPEL Stealth PPF, transforming the gloss white finish into a clean satin look while adding years of protection against the elements.

The factory Ford Performance carbon fiber hood vent, fender vents, and tailgate trim were refinished in BASF UV-resistant clear coat to preserve their depth and keep the carbon looking as good years from now as it does today.

Inside, we installed a complete Audiotec Fischer premium audio system engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality without compromising factory integration.

Then came the details…
• Mild de-badging for a cleaner, more purposeful appearance
• Satin black powder-coated skid plate
• Red powder-coated tow hooks to complement the Hennessey brakes
• Every finish carefully selected to enhance, not overpower the original design.

At Driven By Design, our goal isn’t simply to add parts. It’s to create vehicles that look as though they were always meant to be this way.

Nuthin’ but a G thang.

This Mercedes-AMG G63 showcases our Executive Blackout Package, a signature finish package created for clients who appreciate understated luxury and obsessive attention to detail.

Every finish was chosen with one goal: create a more cohesive, sophisticated G63 without sacrificing its factory character.

Our Executive Blackout Package for this build included:

Their craftsmanship perfectly complemented the vision for this build, protecting the finish while giving the G63 its distinctive satin appearance.

The best luxury builds aren’t defined by how many parts are added, they’re defined by how seamlessly every detail works together.

The future doesn’t have to be boring.

This Tesla Model X received a complete transformation centered around a full carbon fiber CMST widebody package, including carbon front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, and widebody fender extensions that completely change the vehicle’s presence.

To complement the CMST carbon widebody conversion, a set of custom-built Vossen wheels was commissioned specifically for this application. The wider track demanded a wheel package tailored to the vehicle, and to finish the look we designed, 3D printed, and painted a set of custom center caps in-house to match the yellow accents carried throughout the build.

The details matter.

Custom-painted brake calipers.
Custom-painted Tesla emblems.
Custom-painted TESLA lettering.
Bespoke center caps.
One-off ex*****on.

And if you noticed the license plate frame, that’s intentional.

The Driven By Design tag frame isn’t a product. It isn’t merchandise. It isn’t for sale. It only goes on vehicles we’ve had the privilege of building.

Because some things should be earned.

Good builds take time.

When this BMW XM first came through the shop, we focused on the foundation: MSS Urban lowering springs, 23” Vossen wheels, and the first pieces of the Renegade Design rear aero package.

Now the vision is complete.

The addition of the Renegade Design front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and exhaust surrounds transforms the XM from every angle, giving BMW’s flagship performance SUV the aggressive presence its performance deserves.

We also added a subtle custom touch behind the massive BMW kidney grilles, painting the radiator supports in red to complement the factory brake calipers and XM accents. It’s the kind of detail most people won’t notice immediately, but the best builds are often defined by the details.

The best builds aren’t about adding parts. They’re about creating a cohesive design where every modification works together.

Built in stages.
