Faceplate formed.



I missed some Pics of the next steps. I painted the face plate black to make sure the wood color wouldn't show through that carbon fiber, only using a single layer. Then I skinned the Faceplate. Set a thin layer of resin on it, let it tack up. Apply Carbon Fiber Fabric, Thick layer of resin, allow to dry 24+ hours. Sand, Next Coat, allow to dry 24+ hours, sand, next coat, allow to dry 24+ hours, sand, next coat, allow to dry 24+ hours. sand polish. It took probably 2 weeks, between work and cold weather.

Finally once finished i could cut the holes out for the speakers.



This dremel bit cut through it like a hot knife through babies.



You can see here the ugly look of the edges. I'm not to worried about them, they won't be Visible.

4" Skar Speakers mocked up against face plate.
