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?

So can anyone post a pic 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.

Can anyone make CF gauge surrounds? I think it would look real good with white gauges.

Is that $60 for a CF piece that surrounds the stock gauges? Do you think ypu could make a copy of the TII hood scoop and we could just attach it?

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.

I think that if you're going to continue with this and make it into an enterprise, you should pay an advertising fee like everyone else does. PM me so we can discuss details.

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.
