Im a fiberglass whore!!
Very nice work here so far. Like the emblem idea as well. Will look sick I am sure. Just make sure the plexi is sealed and TIGHT so you get no rattles. That would really suck ass after all the hard work. Can't wait to see the finish product.

MORE PICS GUYS!!! this is the sub and port finally positioned in my car...as u can see, not a whole lot of head clearnece from the sub ring ;)...the sub will be inverted once installed and teh metal brances will be removed





i hope you plan on reinforcing your rings before you wrap it, because i dont think your straping is going to be ridgid enough when you
stretch and get all the wrinkles out. i could be wrong, but just my experience you dont want those things moving when the glass is curing
i do teh metal is only there for temp support theyll b peplaced by wodden rods later, the only reason i did that was because u can change the shape adn posisiton of those much better than u can with wood ;)
