I would call it more of a "show" quality, rather than "sow" quality! Ha-ha

Preliminary trim of backside edges. Left it "fat" so can trim final door fit later.

That boot cowl looks so nice! Will be a shame to have to paint it. Do you have a weight comparison with the standard fiberglass part?

Gary, not sure what the factory boot weighs. After more trimming it will likely end up at 25 oz. before filling and paint. Not bad.

I just weighed mine (no paint yet) - It is approximately 51 oz., so about 1.5 lbs. more.

Great weekend of building. A nice 72 degrees in Phoenix today.
My Canadian buddy Norm stopped by to check on my progress and offer encouragement on Saturday.
Worked on the glare shield. We layed up this part last week. Trimmed close to final shape. Drilled mounting holes in the carbon boot cowl and trimmed it for door clearances.
