Have you done a review on it? I'd like to know your impression of it, how does it feel ergonomically?

I just bought this one from Carbon Fiber Element. More expensive but when I compared this one and the one from vqvortex together this one just looked to have smoother transitions from the carbon fiber to the leather and a little more shape to the ergonomic sections.

For what it's worth. i talked vqvortex on the ph. he said they both use the same mfg. co. and that carbon fiber element does good work but doesn't let the layup cure long enough.

I'm sure they probably both do good work. I doubt if either would let their product go out without being fully cured.

That's pretty cool of him. I'd have to drive 3000 miles to pick mine up. Do you have any pics of yours? The one I ordered has a lot of molding done to it. Not sure if you saw the link I posted.
