Eww. And people are happy with that [design] (edited by toayoztan)??
No. It will not be a tte clone, and it will definately not be like that one on ebay. It will be a direct copy of the factory unit in glossy 2x2 twill carbon fiber

Actually, yes, a good number of people are happy with that similar design. A previous GB had that similar design made from a fellow member with alu.

I drove for a summer with my interior stripped out in the rear and having a white trunk caused me to be blinded by the sun when it was behind. Light would bounce off the floor of the trunk and be reflected in the glass making my trunk floor the only thing I could see in my rear view... :roll:

I find you get the same effect on rental cars when they detail the dashboard with armorall or something that's INSANELY SHINY so you get blinded by the dash in the windshield when driving into the sun...
I have been dying to play around with making my own CF parts through that vacuum molding process for a while now.

I agree whole hearted... So why make it out of carbon fiber, and do such a simple design???? AND CHARGE THAT MUCH?!?!?!?
Anyways...
I've started working on the plug kinda when I have a half hour to kill. I won't start working on it in ernst till late april/early may.
