ok.. heres the update.. i went to see the guy today.. i gave him my a-pillars.. he's working on them... he's gonna make a mold.. and when the mold is done he'll let me know a price and i can start taking orders.. or ill just buy a bunch of sets and sell them back to you guys.. (dont worry.. i wont markup the price, im not doin this to make money).. After i see how good the a-pillars come out im going to save up some money to get the molds made for the b and c pillars.. but for now we have apillars commin within two weeks i'd say. This guy also does carbon kevlar.. im thinking of having mine done in kevlar cuz it looks yellow and it'll match the car

oh. he was joking? oh... i mean... nevermind.

(just to avoid making this an 'OT' comment, here's the following...)

sweet! glad to hear progress is being made bitnode. any way someone could provide a pic of carbon kevlar so that i can see what it would look like in the interior? and what's the price difference? thanks.

will this work on my evo!!?? does it have a cutout for the treble speaker in the bottom of the pillar?

if it does, this is exactly what i've been looking for!!

although i'm not into the carbon fiber thing... it'll look weird in my evo.. unless i change everything in my car to carbon fiber..

could he make it in regular hard plastic too?.. if he could make it, id buy it for sure!! AND! my company would also like to distribute them as well!
