Dude. That is nice work. Once they are slick and finished, they should look great. We will be expecting follow-up pics.

By the way. Are you going to leave the mesh that color or do something else?

Dood - that's awesome. I'm actually wanting to get into a fiberglass project. Any recommendations for online tutorials would be great. Small stuff...

Nice work man - can't wait to see the final product

Very nice. I, myself, am still keeping that under consideration.

Maybe through that in in my list of things to do when I do my brake upgrade.

Looks very good though. Post more pics when completed.
