    Cone in place.

    Finish quality is pretty shoddy, but even at idle it's effects are very noticeable. Full throttle absolutely rocks.:)

    Thin layer of light weight fiberglass cloth. Finish coat of West Systems resin with low friction graphite (black) 423 & 406 (filler).

    I never finished the cone and duct with (410) feather filler before applying the finish black coat, which is why it looks so funky. I'm on a deadline now, and have to start a new skirt ASAP.
