    Yes, I believe your GI Joe with the kung fu grip would fit too...
    Decided to go with real carbon fiber veneer on the lid...:_drool:

    It comes that way in sheets, I've used up most of what I had in inventory.
    I'll post a link to where to get it later.

    Jack, here's a link to the company where I get the c-f sheets from...
    They come pre finished with a clear resin coat, the peel & stick 3M backing is an additional $4.00 per.
    Click on "rigid carbon fiber panels" on the home page, & you'll find quite a selection of colors, sizes, thicknesses, etc.
    Not cheap, but good quality stuff...
