Definitely props for trying! First Javier and then the battery box company? Why can't people just handle themselves professionally? Don't they believe in karma? Anyways, good luck!

give you props for trying Brian, I can imagine when you done how sick it will look, and I'm agree w/ most of the comments, just don't give up hopefully second time it will be what you looking for.

I like the title BTW....

hahaha poor sakataj. i would've suggested that you tried fiberglass cloth on something else before trying carbon fiber on headlights. you can pick up a 3'x3' cloth from autozone or wherever for like $5. hope this just encourages you to try again!

At least you tried to do it yourself instead of paying someone first... that's what makes your GS a real hobby.
