Welcome to my humble channel! I'm an Industrial Designer in the automotive world waiting for AI to wipe out my career so I can go and be a mechanic instead. I also 3D Print a range of items on a daily basis, both for myself, and for customers via my website, Diverge 3D.
I prefer to focus on video quality rather than quantity and as my channel grows, I want to focus on builds that create factory-looking versions of cars that never actually existed, with the help of my Design background when needed. I'm planning to garnish this with some single-video mini projects as well when I come up with other ideas not large enough to turn into a series.

How to make your Subaru sound MORE SUBARU
In Episode 3 of Project 4X4ESTER, we're getting well underway with the mods. I fit new headers from Empire Performance and re-work the rest of the exhaust system while I'm at it. But being a daily driver, I need the inside of the car to sound good too, so I also install upgraded speakers, a subwoofer, CarPlay headunit and some sound deadening. And it wouldn't be one of my projects without a bit of 3D Printing, so there's some of that thrown in the mix too.

Budget Forester gets LIFTED! 2” Subaru Lift Kit Installation | PROJECT 4X4ESTER EP2
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 місяці тому
My cheap go-anywhere Forester build continues with the installation of a 2" Lift Kit from HRG Offroad, which uses a similar design to SubieLiftOz. After successfully repairing all the issues with the car and getting it re-registered, it's time to indulge in some mods - and I'm starting with possibly the most defining one on the list. The installation process in this video is virtually identical...
Can I save this neglected Subaru? | PROJECT 4X4ESTER EP1
Переглядів 6595 місяців тому
I've gotten my old Foz back, but it's not exactly how I remember it. After being battered around for a couple of years with almost no maintenance, the repair bill has it destined for the scrapyard with a conservative estimate of nearly $6000. $6000 is the mechanic's price anyway, and I know I can get it done for a lot cheaper myself if I set aside some time for it. But that's just to get it dri...
Trying Alcantara WRAP - is it as bad as they say?
Переглядів 10 тис.6 місяців тому
Alcant-ERA popped up on my radar a few months ago with their adhesive suede interior wrap through some viral Instagram posts. But what a lot of us viewers noticed was the rushed nature of their demonstration videos which seemed to undersell the wrap itself. Despite this, I was super interested in the idea of a self-adhesive suede wrap and wanted to try it for myself, in the hope that the produc...
BI-XENON PROJECTOR Headlight Upgrade - E39 BMW 5 Series (Retrofit Lab Kit)
Переглядів 9 тис.9 місяців тому
This is a DIY guide to installing Retrofit Lab's Bi-Xenon kit for the E39 BMW 5 Series (facelift). The projector lenses in these old BMWs commonly develop internal fog which greatly reduces their light output. This video applies to OEM Hella halogen headlights for facelift E39 models between 2000 and 2002. Factory xenon headlights have a different installation process - this video is for haloge...
$80 LED taillights BUILT FROM SCRATCH (E39 BMW 5 Series)
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
In this video I take an L and spend 80 hours (and $80) building LED taillights for my 5 Series that ended up with a few annoying problems that render them pretty much useless. But despite this, I still vouch for this as a project and I reckon on the right car it could be really successful. You could also build these with a diffuser lens over the bulbs for a more even light output, but I wanted ...

Building a DIY DETAILING STORAGE SETUP
Переглядів 525Рік тому
The storage method for my work van was in desperate need of a refresh, so I started from scratch by building this easily removable storage caddy. It fits everything I need on a daily basis, while also organising and securing everything so it doesn't slide around when driving. There's still a few finishing touches to be made in the near future, but it's a massive improvement nonetheless.
Don't try to fix an LCD screen like this (piezo ignitor test)
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
After seeing a very sus repair video do the rounds online, I had to try this one for myself. Like a lot of BMWs from the era, my E39 has lost most of the pixels on the dashboard LCD over time, and I've made repairing it one of the last things on my list for the car due to the expense and effort required. But for $13, I thought this was worth a shot in the meantime. Of course, attempt this at yo...

Hey, are you making for other people and other vehicles? If so, I have some for my truck.
diverge3d.com.au/pages/get-a-quote Get in touch with me here and I can help you out 👍
plot twist, there are some e39 headlights that are "permasealed" with some other kind of seal, not butil rubber, and only way to open them is to either cut the glass or to cut the corpus. I think the permasealed ones was post 2001 but im not pretty sure, if someone knows better let me know
Unfortunately yes, that’s why I’ve only put 2000-2002 as the year range in the thumbnail, 2002-2004 is permasealed from what I know
Do the backup camera still works?
How did you make the mold bro?
Keep it up mate. Waiting for mine so dying to see how they are now. Subscribed
Hello you have Instagram account for follow the fozzie
found 3m3 of this on temu for 10 bucks
They look great!! Love this DIY project, well done. How are they holding up by this day?
J pipe should be tword the front
This only works reliably and safely on TFT type displays
i like your vidéo Bro
✌️
Ohhh yeahhh , you pay to much , i buy same product on rol without damage or plies in it , i pay 13 euro for 40cm X 140 Cm and free shiping and no tax on Temu , and kwality looks even better , i found on local store the exact same product for sale for 42 euro , and i talk to them about it , and have to admid they have bean abusing the prices and buy it for even less for there amount of order , and told me they pay for 1,30 euro the rol , so be ware where you buy , and even on temu you can buy it for even less or more , but don't think you get better , concurence is huge there and some can be going for the smallest marge of winst , thats diference with us western comunity , they make money with labour of the chinese poeples , so today , we produce nothing anymore , cos we are so expensive in compaire , china is much to strong for us , and have very good builds since the days we remembering the poor qualities long time ago , and we have to admit it , they make the world better , they feed the hole world , we all depend on them today , yeah it is dificult to accept but we cant stare blind and ignore it , but don't forget ; on day we will be in there before shoes , we would like them have to fight to survive or to afford better life , and i know that they know what we know , so they take everything in considerence and stay as quite as they can to let the bussiness going a while , they are very smart peoples not to compaire with the Nord Korean or Russian atitude , much smarter and i love that and take my head off for that , Respect is the best of reactions ;-) thanks for the vidéo and remember what i told and sorry for my poor english Wrights, ejoy you self douings cos what you made yourself ,is always better done and with love and passion you get there ones or next time , don't let hangon after one failing , keep continuing folks and enjoy your doings , very important , also to claim out owner weakness , i believe thats it , Carl from Belgium Flanders ;-)
what size of the wheel cap
67mm bro
I dig that. Like your design!
BRUH sick video! Honestly they need to give you some commission lol, because of your detailed video I'm about to buy the product lol. Keep up the good work!
Maybe one day 😂
Nicely done 👍thnx for sharing.
Great video
That is beast
Looking great it’s coming together.
Awesome! Builds coming along well! I've gotta get my hands on some empire performance UEL headers!
Very nice bro , you have them for sell
Link in description 👍
When painting yiur parts you should def sand and wipe with solvent then use 2 coats of primer even if you paint has primer in it then do way lighter coats . Like 3. Then use a high quality finish clear coat
You should take the time ti do research . Cause using spray adhesive if dine correctly and if you use the correct stuff you would get better results . With the spray adhesive you need ti spray both parts and let tack up b4 applying g fabric
Did all of this and still had poor results
Brilliant do you make Ford ones please
Could I purchase a set of these from you ?
Link in description 🤝
Does the make the cap stick out a bit ?
Not really, maybe 1mm more than a regular badge - they’re available on my website via the link in the description
@@OEMStez what if I need them for a different wheel not a bmw could I give you the measurements and you print me up what I need ?
@@OEMStez I’ve emailed you about getting a set of these and didn’t get a response ??
Hey, I can’t see anything from you in my Inbox. Generally I don’t design alternate versions for other cars as it almost always needs adjustment to fit properly which makes it get very expensive for the person interested - hope you understand 🙏
great job where is v2 :) your site is not working
Coming soon - website getting a makeover
Nice! What's the exhaust tip size?
This is very useful to know for those wanting to do diy. Thank you. Plasti dip might be better then to do it alone at home...😢
I did another project where I used the right type of clearcoat for the base coat and had a much better result - have a look for my Work Van Transformation video
I would love some of them do you sell them

Does pipe diameter matter for the quarter wave resonator? I have a 2.5 inch exhaust system
How long does it last?
I'm thinking D shackles lol
Hello, will a MIB 2 work OOB with a 2006 B6?
Can’t wait to see some trail videos
It is always better to bring the exhaust out of two smaller pipes rather than one larger one. It contributes to reducing the humming sound.
Hectic🤙🤙🤙 I’ve got a lifted SG foz. Keep it up bro 😎
hey mate! how did you end up properly finding the correct temperature for the exhaust (in the second attempt), rough calculations show it's not a massive change in size for my car at least (drops from 85 to 77cm) would be curious to know how you found it out accurately! Cheers
Hey man, I thought I showed it in the video but I’m pretty sure I just used my temperature gun on the finished setup, measuring a few places on the J pipe and then taking the average. From memory the very end of the J pipe was only 40°C or so
Product link
Certainly! A product link typically refers to an API URL that provides a full list of available products or titles in a library or retail digital collection. You can then perform searches based on this link to find specific items or filter and sort lists. Hope that helps!
Does the petg ressist to the heat of the brake/wheels?
Haven’t had issues with it, unless you’re on the Nurburgring I doubt you’d have any problems
awesome build coming along! Let me know how the uel headers go! I’ve got a 2/2.5 lifted sf forester with a rear torq locker in wa! Love too see it
That’s sick, if I extend my budget the rear locker is on my list 🤝

When it gets stuck to its self does it come apart easily?
You can get it back apart yeah, there’s a spot in the video where I had that situation
Where did you find the bearings?
Amazon, eBay or if you want something higher quality you can go to a bearing specialist. But they are a very standard size used all over the world for tons of different things
nice job bro!
Sorry Sreten cracked me up 🤣. Either way, that was a great learning experience and thanks for sharing it with us!
How do you clean off the tire shine if you want to reapply?
Any wheel degreaser will do the job - it’s not great for your paint but if you’re doing what I did here then that’s irrelevant 🤪
@@OEMStez how would you clean it off if you want to reapply?
Is the reflector the same between xenon and halogen ?
Different kit for cars with factory Xenon, I think it’s about €20 difference from memory
