Look for the pics on your computer and check the size. If they are smaller than 100k they are probably going to be small. If you have photoshop or something similar you can try to resize them but they won't be very sharp.

Damn you Chris. Your first fiberglass looks amazing and my first fiberglass (kickpanels in progress) looks....well..like a C+ 3rd grade art project. lol really great job if you can post some larger pics would love to get a better view. Did you use epoxy or polyster based resin. And what type of fabric dod you use for the front??
