Very nice. I like the the way the two blues look together. Where did you get the acrylic and what size did you start with?

Russ I am not sure if Mike has gotten back to you and I could not find you email. Mike turned me onto this stuff a while back and I have turned a few real seats and foregrips with it. I beleive it might me just a little heavier than the original but not much or so that you would notice. It is really fun to work with and like I say the weight difference is very little.
