Founded in 1992 by Matthew Figliola, a man passionate about precision workmanship, Ai Design is now recognized worldwide by clients, the automotive industry, and the press as highly accomplished and dedicated in the field of aftermarket enhancement. A select team of specialists, all working at a state-of-the-art facility just north of Manhattan, drives Ai Design's vertiginous standards. This team maintains active partnerships with the world's leading aftermarket component manufacturers.

Immaculate and methodically laid out, Ai Design's 8000-square-foot premises has more in common with an operating room than it does with a traditional garage. Clients find it hard to believe that this spotless, brightly lit shop is really where all the work is performed. Tool benches surround the perimeter, with power, light and pressurized air all easily accessible to each technician. Ai Design maintains an in-house wood shop, a welding facility and a leatherwork station, allowing full control over nearly all aspects of customization. Shop equipment is the latest available, and the company feels that a polished workplace reflects the dedication of its team, earning it comparison to Ferrari's facility in Italy, as well as Mario Andretti's racing shop. World-class levels of organization and creativity are Ai's defining characteristics.
