Nice work but IMO really messes up the flow of the rest of the interior. I would not like it if it was in my ride :shrug:

Not really my style, I think I would rather have a tweeter in the pillar. But, very nice glass work, and they do look good.

Have you ever glassed ANYTHING before? like even just a sample piece to see how it goes? I have never glassed but definitely want to learn how. How long did it take you to make these and how hard would you say it was?

I've glassed before but nothing quite as complicated as this. Just takes practice...

They don't get in my way too much because their down in the corner of the windshield. It was actually very easy to make. I used the speaker grill to make a ring out of a thin piece of wood and used some skinny pencil shape wood to hold it in place.then I went on YouTube and watched how other people laid down their resin and fiberglass mat.Then put a layer of bondo on top to make it thicker and stronger.The longest part was the sanding it just takes time to get it smooth and get it to flow as much as possible. Then primer and a coat of SEM texture coating and the final color. It took me about a week only getting to work on it like two hours a day after work.

It just seems like it would be hard to get the two sides to match eachother. Youtube is a good idea though! I have just been reading articles about it.
