Hey everyone, thanks to the tutorials on this site I was able to easily get these accomplished . Althought a bit messy and fumes that got me dazed and confused(will use an official resporator instead of the disposable ones next time I do this) I was able to complete these just how I wished . I did the initial molds in my sisters RSX only becuase mine was in the shop for 3 Dam weeks getting some other work done to it . Thanks for looking .

Using half inch dowels to reinforce the ring >Hot glue works well

Good stab man. Looks great. Next glassing projects use Rage Gold it has a chalkier sand to it. I've had Bondo it works well also but the Rage sands so much nicer. Are you gonna "milkshake" those?

Going textured?

 
cool! but they dont really blend in to the kick panel ..
Thanks man , Thats my sisters car in the pics .. The interior of my RSX is black therefore you cant really tell the where the pods meet the rest of the car .. I have more pics coming up a little later
