I have pics of my carbon fiber stereo surround!!
So I finished my first one! It came out okay, but still looks killer, IMO. Its a different shape than the stock one to house my monitor and SAFC. But in the very near future I will have stock series 4 surrounds outta carbon or red kevlar to sell. The catch is that they will have no ashtray, or lighter, itll be all smooth. I will finish the mold and start making them in the next week.
The other catch is that I dont have any fancy tools, or any great shop to do them in. That being the case they will not necessarilly be absolutely perfect. Please dont get me wrong I wont screw anybody with bad parts. Especially seeing as one crappy part sold to a forum member, and Ill never sell one here again. I am just stating that arent coming from a huge company like APC(bad example!) and being absolutely flawless. This will be reflected in the price though.
I will be asking 150$ for the stereo surround and shifter surround. Also add the little panel below it with the change holder for an additional 35$. These pieces have many coats of polly and look a mile deep, and very 3-d-ish. Also I WILL be making CF hoods within the next month or so. I promise!
Also I make a guage holder outta CF that holds 3 2" guages to replace the hole for the logicon for 50$.
So can anyone post pics for me?

This is off-topic, but it's a good picture of a carbon plate stereo-job done well, so you can see how the carbon contrasts with the electronics. Top two pics.

the scoop prolly wouldnt be doable And yes 60$ for the guage surround. I thinks thats fair seeing as the cheesy APC ones are like 40$. But the pricees are somewhat negotiable, especially if someone bought a few items at a time.

Sorry Boosted I was unaware of any sort of add fee. And on a side note, I know Mazdaspeed was going to do basically the same thing, but I havent seen any real progress after some time. I waited as to not step on any toes, but I have waited over a month, and why should I just sit on a good product thats ready to go cuz someone else talks about it? Hope I dont/didnt offend anyone.
