Thanks! It looks great and feels great in the hand, too. I'm certain you'd be impressed.
The mounting points are reinforced with extra layers of cloth, in particular the rear mounts, which are often bent or distorted on the factory steel plates. In addition to the added thickness, the carbon replica is slightly larger in overall dimensions to make the mounting points at the rear more sturdy with a much greater cross sectional area.
There are a total of 9 layers of reinforcement at the rear mounting points, which gives a nominal thickness of 2.7mm, and 6 layers at the other two points (the recessed ones) which gives a nominal thickness of 1.8mm.
The original thickness of the steel protection plate is 1.2mm.
Hope that answers your question!
