What are you doing?

Thank You. Yes this was my first fiberglass box, and second ever experience with glass. I'm quite proud. I hope to do my door panels (in my rx7) similar to yours.

I actually did buy the things needed to make a mold so I could reproduce the enclosure. I spent alot of time looking at it near completion, and decided it would be more work than I was willing to do in order to prep it to mold ready condition. It is undercut behind where I would want to put the parting line, so I chose to go ahead and carpet the box and be done with it. I did not think the cost/benefit was in favor of producing copies.

4080 has already sold several of these type of enclosures for the RX8 (before going out of business), so the market demand had pretty much been filled. In a few years that might change as the 1st gen. RX8's become less valuable and more of the younger crowd can afford them.
