yes u are almost correct. it is actually a woven dry fiber that is very flexible (and itchy if it gets on ur skin). You then mix a reisin together and u put the strips of fiberglass into the reisin and position it where u want. When it hardens, its a very stiff and sturdy piece (of course many layers of it, not just one). It is a fast and simple way to make body parts for cars (body kits, wings, hoods, etc) and also for custom enclosures.

I was also going to build a custom sub enclosure b/c i have done numerous builds, specially in my old civic, but i didnt want to do the same for my fit. I just went with a powered audiobahn tube. Good work on the glasswork tho i wanna see ur finished results.

Oh btw i am working on a grill to fit the USDM fit's, also made from fiberglass. is there anybody out there that can mass produce them once i build the protoype? i always wondered about this.
