Anyone make them for the FC? I jacked one of mine and figured before I spend a small fortune on stock ones I would see if anyone knew who made them.

I have doen a few, but I had problems with air bubbles on the surface. But the Mazda logo came out perfect. Schools out for christmas, so I should have time to make it perfect so I can sell some.



Heres a little teaser... Sorry the pic is so blurry

I would, but that part is about the ony part of that piece that came otu really good. There were a lot of surface imperfections, so I need to work on the mold some more.



But Justin has seen them, and I think hes pretty impressed so far.

Those stupid little pieces are the hardest to come out right, unless you are going to clear them after they come out of the mold, I cant see how someone would get the mold polished enough? Especially for a center console surround.
