awesome. I'm wondering how the back half of the cage clears the interior. I've got a 13pt cusco/safety21 cage inbound, and wondering how much interior I'll be able to retain. the carbon looks cool, nice job.

How would you rate the fit and finish of the carbonmiata bits?

Thanks for your input Gordon. The piece that didn't fit well for you, are you referring to the whole cluster hood? If so, that would be hugely disappointing because mine is cracked, and that's really where my interest in these pieces stems from.

thanks!
i'll explain how the photo was achieved with another picture:

i set up my tripod and camera in the trunk of the lead car while the rx7 follows me at the same speed (around 16MPH).
i track the rx7 with my camera while we drive along the road and take continuous pictures with a low shutter speed (0.3 seconds for this shot) until i get a clear shot which i could further process.
the low shutter speed creates the blur as we move, but the rx7 looks perfectly still because it maintains the same distance to the camera.
