What EVOD Industries does

EVOD Industries, a California-based operating subsidiary of Dove Affair Inc. founded in 2003 by Larry Dove, designs and manufactures custom automotive components with a core focus on one-off wheels and machined billet parts for the classic car restoration, hot rod, and resto-mod segments. Production is centered at the company's Escondido, California facility (1277 Pacific Oaks Place, Suite 101) using an in-house stack of CNC machining, 3D printing, 3D scanning, and CAD/CNC workflows capable of working in aluminum, steel, titanium, magnesium, plastics, and woods. Output spans fully bespoke commissions designed in close collaboration with the customer, a Limited Edition line of productionized designs (C1Classic, Sting, Turbine, Bandit, GT1 in 15"-24" sizes), and a broader Parts & Accessories category covering steering wheels, taillights, grills, suspension pieces, and badges. Notable projects include a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE resto with $20,000 in custom EVOD billet wheels and 2025/2026 Ridler Award-winning builds featuring EVOD wheels and taillights.

The company runs a direct, sales-led go-to-market model with no public pricing: customers submit specification forms and contact the in-house sales team via phone (760.737.0046) or email ([email protected]), and each wheel or part is custom-quoted based on design complexity, materials, and fitment requirements. Distribution is direct-to-customer through the company website and direct phone/email; no resellers or distributors are used. Marketing is anchored on Instagram (@evod_industries), Facebook, on-site photo and video galleries, earned media in enthusiast publications, and visibility at Ridler-level industry competitions.

EVOD is privately held under Dove Affair Inc. with no venture or institutional capital raised, operates with 11-50 employees, and serves customers exclusively in the United States. The primary customer base is discriminating individual enthusiasts and professional builders (e.g., Detroit Speed, Roadster Shop, Reversion Raceworks) seeking bespoke designs that combine aesthetic individuality with engineered fitment and function. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware sales on bespoke and limited-edition orders, with no recurring software, licensing, or subscription components.
