custom carbonfiber footrest !!!! PICS*!

My Bro surprised me with this CF license plate holder or whatever is this.. of course he knew that this wouldnt fit the tC.. ( it was free...)

So he gave it to me, and i just threw it under my sofa :D but today i just realized: i bought a dremel kit..so i should just fabricate it to fit on something...
I was sitting in my car for minutes.. thinking what to do with this piece.. then i saw the footrest.. OH YESSS!!!!

i was about the make two out of it.. but i messed up the first one

((((((((( i was so stupid.. i made the first one upside down so it was mirrored

but imho the second one came out pretty good.
definitely an awesome mod for free!!!

Interesting... doesn't look bad... but I imagine your foot would slip off of it a lot.

its a really thin piece so im worrying that i will brake it ( thats why i put a fifth screw in to the middle)

plus maybe i will scratch it up really badly.. etc.. who knows what will happen to this piece.. but on this is sure: i love it, imho it looks really good!
