Default My AVCR/VAFC carbon fiber mount

Well I worked on this project over the winter and it's almost completely done. All I have left to do is my turbo timer install on the driver's side vent. Here's some pics I'm welcome to opinions.

I went from this


and then to this


and now to my latest creation


VAFC and AVCR

My friend wrecked his 99 si and his fiber images hood cracked. So he gave me the hood for free. I took the hood to my dads shop and cut it up into pieces. Then did some measuring and fitting out of plastic then when i got the right sizes i did the same thing except on the carbon fiber

thanks for the comments guys. As for the rear mounting i didn't take any pics of it. Basically i mounted the apexi bracket on the vent, then had to dremel out a part of the vent inside the dash. I don't ever use the center vents anyways. No a/c hehe

Looks good but you may want to put something over it while it's parked so others aren't able to see the goods if you know what I mean.
