APEX Design LLC
About Us
1/6/2018
Apex Design LLC was started the same way many companies get started. Passion and a need that the market place could not fulfill. Three years ago (after a 2 year search) I bought a 2008 BMW M6 Coupe, V10 with a manual 6 speed (only 320 ever made). Beautiful car with only 18K miles. But as nice as the car was I couldn’t stop staring at the less than aesthetically pleasing brake calipers behind the 5 spoke 19” wheels. So I attacked the internet for a solution.
I looked at the available options. The first of course were high performance brake systems. They look great but cost upwards of $5K. At the time tracking the car was not an option so I didn’t require such stopping power. I then investigated caliper covers. These range from formed metal to injection molded plastic. The one size fits all approach just didn’t seem to do the car justice.
After exhausting all possibilities I decided to design my own. I’m an Engineer, an enthusiast and a firm believer in “if you want the job done right, do it yourself”. I wanted to create a piece that enhanced the wheels appearance and looked as though it came with the car, not just bolted on. With many Autocad designs, multiple proto types and hours of in depth research we finally arrived at what I thought was a piece that was worthy of being on my car.
After attracting a lot of attention at the local car shows and many design requests we decided to produce our overlays for everyone. That’s when Apex Design LLC was started.
We are a family run business. My 2 boys, Isaac (BMW 328xi, Sales & Marketing) and Ian (Mustang Premium, Assembly and Procurement) run the day to day functions of the business. I handle the engineering and designs.
We have a passion for anything with wheels and a motor. Our local Show is Seacoast Cars and Coffee to which we are a proud partner. Their motto is “If it rolls and you love it, bring it”. We couldn’t agree more. 2 wheel, 3 wheel, 4 wheel, Japanese, German, Italian, American, British does not matter. If it’s your passion, it’s our passion.
Peace,
Brian Leslie
