o snap! I should do that!

that'd be pretty simple.

make mold out of planter foam and cover with one layer of 1.5oz woven glass. then flip it over and add two more layers of matting to the back side for strength. cover with vinyl or paint it...

screw CF... that ****'s too spendy

Where did the thread or link go?
I would like to buy one right now but it seems the mods deleted it or something.

Is the shifter not going to hit the stereo especially when you've got your hand wrapped around it when you get in third not to mention 5th gear? It sure as hell looks like it. And if your hand ever slips off you're gonna punch the **** out of your stereo and maybe crack the surround or crack the bondo....

that's correct but the bad news is the stopped making cf pieces for the rx7 interior period.

nice job on the surround deagle. although it does look a lil tacky for me it is a good idea to have the radio face towards the driver. finish it up and show us the final product

who ya asking? lol

mine was easy. just have to be patient and plan ahead (well... I didnt plan ahead... it was too nice outside for that)
glassing isn't too hard at all after you've done it a couple times.
