The outline you see in the third pic towards the middle is a cut-out I made because I store my Sirius, HD radio, and MSN Direct tuners in the glove box and I need to run the wires out to the receiver.

Glove box (outside)
I added a MI decal and it will be covered in resin.

I'm wrapping all the visible parts, mounting all my add-on's in it, adding some l.e.d.'s and putting a lexan cover over the top so when you open it up there's a lighted display.

You are pretty friggin good with that stuff. Ever think about doing it for money?

I know I would send you my engine cover to start with. I don't care if I would have to wait a week or two for it, your work is amazing.

I also know if I had those skills I would be advertising my services here like crazy.

Thanks for the compliments. I really don't have enough free time to be taking on a bunch of projects. Maybe one or two at a time. If you want your engine cover done, PM me and we can work something out.

It all depends on the part. I think its more time consuming than it is difficult.

CF is easy to work with really,but it gets spendy and takes a bit of time to get the coats flat and smooth.....love the work man,I cannot wait to start doing mine this Fall.

I agree. Most of the work is sanding. I usually end up putting 5-6 coats of resin on each piece. Everything else is easy. The resin and hardener was the most expensive part for me. The CF itself is only about $30/yard.
