thanks guys.
I can't wait to get it finished and installed, but I'm trying not to rush it. This is my biggest glass job, I want it to work out.

got the foam/body filler glassed over. Worked out awesome, I did a little bit of hand sanding and I won't need to use much filler at all.

Here are the pics, I did it in sections, I did the round part first, let that cure, trimmed the edges. Then I did the rear, same thing, let cure then trim. Then did the sides and curved part of the rear. I haven't trimmed the last part yet, I will do that tomorrow as well as some sanding.

K, got the rest of the fiberglass trimmed, did some hand sanding with a small block. I think I need to get a little bit of paint on there to get better pics, but I'll do that after I get some filler on it.

Do you remember the mazda sysmbol that I was working on? Well I spent alot of time tonight cleaning it up. I filled 2 spots in with body filler and reshaped it. It looks way better now. But now I have to do the other one.
anyone guess yet what it's for?

good progress so far.

as far as the mazda emblems... i'm guessing subwoofer grills.

my one question is why didnt you face the subs towards the rear hatch?

Right on the money with the grills. My only prob so far with them is I can't decide exactly how I want to mount them and have it look clean. I 've been thinking about it since before I first cut them out....I'll figure something out.

The reason I didn't make the subs rear facing was partially to save au much room as possible for when the dog is riding in the back with the rear seat down, also I kinda prefer subs pointing forward.
