Fiberglass Box for Mazda 3 Hatch!!!

[3Mazdarati3]

I am currently in the process of building a new box for my car and it looks amazing. The thing is i thaught it wouldnt cost much.....boy was i wrong. im upset that i may have to sell the box but if anyone is intrested please tell me because im desperate. the box isnt finished but by christmas it will be. its going to be painted black, but if you are intrested in it before i paint it you can tell me and ill paint it to your color preference. here are some pictures of it...

Fleece is much cheaper.

Nice box, will surely be bad ass once completed and hopefully someone is into showing their car cause that would be nice for a show.

is that $97 US for only 12 yards of glass mat or cloth? What kind of mat are you using, that price just seems somewhat expensive unless you are using some high oz. woven glass cloth like roving or something but why would you use that for a box that stuff is made for tanks, airplanes, boats and such ? The $1.49 a yard for some chopped strand mat seems much more reasonable like you originally thought the price was, you may have gotten swindled.
