thats a good price. Do you send him the handle than he overlays it and sends it back? Or does he have one made already than you send your core back?

Does this mean they won't brake so easy now that they're carbonfiber?! It looks nice and clean. Matches your cf hatch nicely

Thanks! Not sure if it will make it stronger. Since most handles I've seen breaks either just under the handle itself or where the rod goes thru the handle hinge.

But it definitely looks hell of a let better than scratched up surface.

Just wait few more months.. I'm doing some crazy **** to my FD!

It doesn't add strength where is needed to ensure it wont break, that is why the metal ones are ideal, then you could have it wrapped. not that this is any further away but here is a pic of the handle on mine.

yep my stuff is stripped out. I still have to reinstall the interior after all the custom work I did as far as Carbon Fiber. I also am thinking of installing my Matrix RS 3 in there while I have everything out. Here is another one and this is what you ride will look like if you get the whole interior done at once. Also I was working on the box and then decided to scrap the design for a better box. With this one I was looking to get as much airspace as possible, it looks odd because I was half way finished with it and stopped. I have never seen a more dusty FD in my life, I need to wash it bad

You dont have the Amp to match that speaker, do you? I would think with all your carbon experience you would make a fiberglass box, then cover with carbon. mainly for weight reasons.

Anyways seems like you do very good carbon work. I might have some things done by you in the near future.

Bingo. yeah I was in such a hurry to get the system in and hear it. I do have the amp to match. I have the D'artagnan, 6 channel mobile theather amp. It is stable to a 1/4 ohm, that sub is the T2 - Tarantula SPL competition sub, 900 RMS and 2400 burst rating. I also have a 1 farad cap on the way and a spatial image restoring component. I have a SS variable in-dash x-over and EQ. The rest is MB quart components all the way around, retained the center channel. Its incredible and I haven't evevn tuned it.The thing is that the box in the pic is mostly fiberglass, just not the top. I fiberglassed out the contours of the wheel well to get extra space. I have decided that I don't need that much space and am going to CF the whole thing when done. Battery is going to the bins. It should be fun. Way different than the one in the pic. Thanx for the nice comments and I will look foward to do some things for you in the future. Got to go, have some packages to ship today.
