What would you like? Teh spark plug cover? i have to find where I can buy some spacer and teh right hardware to mount them. I'll probably have to go to a machine shop to have them made.
No, didnt try bagging...I have to make a bagging system for that. what im doing now seems to work, so once I get sometime I'll work on a vacum system.

Vac bagging is tough...I don't think its really necessary for skinning. I've got some good techniques that don't require vac bagging and net similar results with 1/2 the skill and a fraction of the cost.

If either of you guys want to give me a price on a coolant cover and plug cover that would be great.
I think a little CF would sweet in my nice clean engine!

well Kevin and I are going to be pricing our stuff the same.
Were thinking $140 for:
-Battery Cover
-Spark plug cover
-Fuse box Cover
-Coolant Cover
If you only want 1 or 2 items, PM me or Kevin and we can work something out.
Keep in mind, these are hand made...real CF, they take time to make. :P

Is the coolant tank the same in all model year Focus? :huh:
In that case I wouldn't mind one along with a CF battery cover myself (I hate that godawful cheap looking cover on the battery <_< )
