Nope. I didn't have a big enough bag so it ended up f'ed beyond repair. I took my frustrations out on it. It was well built. I had a hard time breaking it .

Grant, Any luck on this yet buddy? If you can't get them let me know and I'll keep looking elsewhere.

If anyone cares how this project turned out. This is what happens when you don't get a vacuum seal. The carbon bubbles away from the piece. So I took it and beat it against a pole. It didn;'t break so I put it on the ground and stomped on it.

Grant buddy, got anything for me yet?

Sucks that it didn't work out bro. I thought you had it nipped in the butt..

On the other hand, I love carnage, and like watching things get destroyed! Good job on busting her up. That's how I take out alot of frustration on things that don't come out quite like I had planned..

I hope none of your patients saw you beating the thing to death. I'd be kinda scared my teeth might be the next victim if everything doesn't go according to plan + =

Not my taste, but you did do a good job on it.

I'm so sorry ma'am, the dremel just got a mind of its own and started going to town, there was nothing I could do. By the way, that'll be $3500 to put 'em back.

Actually vinyl might be a good alternative for painting parts of your car like the hatch. If you have spoiler holes you could JBweld them sand smooth and put vinyl over top. It would be cheaper than a bodyjob. Also, it doesn't need to be carbon vinyl, it could just match your car.

^ ehh, instead of vinyl i'll do my won work and fix my hatch
