No chit , how are you going to finish these? I see many hours of sanding in your future //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here is a tip for you. When using bondo put as least as possible and make sure to smoothe it out as best you can. That way when you go to sanding you wont have much to do.

Look at the kicks though, he needs to build up a lot of areas big time....

But in general that is obviously true...

didnt come out as well as i hoped... i think me and my buddy were on different pages when we imagined the finished product. i was thinking the bondo was just going to help put a glassy layer over the rough fiberglass, kinda just fill in the imperfections.

i think im going to start working on a full custom mount using a piece of plexi instead of the oem door panel.

i guess i cant be too pissed about the finished product cuz neither me or my friend have ever used any of these products, nor done anything at all like this.

rookie mistakes are everywhere... kinda a cob job, but overall, its functional and badass in the sense that no car iv ridden in has anything even close.

(more pics soon)

Excellent idea, I've done multiple front stage 3-way installs using CDT... they've sounded exceptionally clean.

Talking with Exige?
