From the looks of the 52mm in the picture I don't know if the 60mm holes would fit in the radio slot

actually that piece looks simple to replicate. If you can, you might as well make it out of cf yourself instead of that vinyl stick cf lookalike

THanks, Ive tried replicating it with fiberglass and my pos mold that I made out of styrophone(no sure if spelled correctly) but my end product wasnt to my satisfaction..Also the smell of mixing resin and the amount of time laying fiberglass sheets and process of drying!! Too much burden for my A*S!!LOL... Ill try again later!! Thanks for you replys guys!!

What you can do, depends on the size of the piece. I'm assuming it just looks big in the picture because of a closeup. Anyway, buy a sheet of aluminum and bend it shape. Make your parting flanges. Make a polyester gelcoat mold. Then lay in the cf and bam, perfect replica. Just use a hole saw to cut out the circles once everything is finished.
