Custom Fiberglass Subwoofer Enclosures

Hey all! Its been a while since I posted, but im glad to see everyone is as active as ever.
Right now, I am building two custom fiberglass enclosures for my gen 1 solara. There will be one on each side towards the back of the car (near the tail lights, and they will be kinda the shape of a motorcycle gas tank. I'm building an enclosure for each of my JL audio 12's, and there should be between 1.5-2.0 in the enclosure.
I haven't finished building them yet, but I was gauging interest to see if anybody out there would like these things. I hated giving up 50-60% of their usable trunk space for a huge box. If anyone else out there feels the same way and would like to have something like im building, it will be really easy for me to make a mold of mine before I go any further so that I can build more of em for you.
I would of course test it on some local solaras and have those people vouch for them. I would use PayPal and offer you a 100% money back guarantee if there is something wrong with the enclosures or the fitment is wrong, etc etc. Also, before I have you purchase them, I would obviously put some pics up so that you can see them.
I was thinking along the lines of $400 each...if you wanted 2, maybe $700 (plus shipping...which wont be huge seeing that fiberglass is pretty light). If you wanted some custom car audio place to do this for you, they would probably charge you around $85 an hr. (thats what they quoted me here) and it will take them at least 20-30 hours....
Anyways, let me know...
