Pictures as promised!
The edges still don’t sit as flush as I’d like. Maybe the fiberglass/resin warps over time as I keep sanding? I tried putting a heat gun on the edges and clamping it down. Then as it cools, it sits more flush again. But for some reason, over time, the edges start flaring up again. That’s why I decided to move the mounting holes to even farther to the edges. However, im very pleased on how smooth the “face” came out.

I’m thinking of Plastidipping the Ecomodder logo in the middle 
