Yes I made a few parts and was working out the underside mounts. We got one full set of mounts off our molds but then they were damaged and I had to decide what to do. Ours was full prepreg and cured in an autoclave and the weave was perfect unlike the overlay stuff. Plus it was quite structural, rings like steel in fact. I had a lot of interest until I posted a $550 price point which was well under the $800 tag of the TRD IS350 version of similar manufacture. So I stopped throwing money at it. I still have the one on my car and its holding up well. Magnetic mounts and all.

550 price is a steal for an engine cover our size, especially when you say its perfect looking. i would think 550 is nothing to ISF owners.

Indeed I had no idea you were working on that. $550 is a great price for a piece that is not an overlay.
