Help a future fit owner out?

Hey. I am looking to buy a fit in the next month or so, and already have some plans for a few custom vacuum formed parts.
I am building a new vacuum former now for some other things, and want to make sure it will be big enough for the fit parts I want to make down the line.

Can anyone measure they the parts shown in the pictures for me?
I could go down to the dealer, but really dont feel like being hassled by the salesmen.
Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks man. This thing is going to be pretty big for a homemade vacuum former!

I think I will be ok. I have found a lot of 2'x4' homemade machines online. I think for what I need to pull I can get it down with a simple 2 stage system. 1) A shopvac to pull the first 4-5 hg and high volume of air out, then a 16gal tank and small vac. pump I have to pull down to about 25hg and the remaining low volume of air out. I just need the space to store this damn thing!
