Started making molds of the panel and got all my rings cut and routed. Its raining like hell here so I can't do much more today. I was out of trupan so I had to use the cheapie mdf. It cuts, sands, and routs sooo much worse. Makes more dust too. Anyway here are some progress pics. I should have them wrapped and resined and possibly sanded by tom night. I think I'm going to paint them black.

Molds are 4 layers of chop mat

I just threw them on there for the pic. It stopped raining so I can put the panels back on my doors and position them properly

Is that a 6.5" and a 5.25" at the top? Just curious why didn't you go with any 8" and 4" at the top?

edit: nevermind I'm an idiot....didn't read the entire title just went scrolling for picks....see you using a 7" and 5.25" :wacko:

Yeah Its a Dayton RS180... Considered a 7" yet its more like a 6.5 that has a big basket. I considered using an 8 but I had these Daytons laying around from a previous install that I never used them in

I don't know if i'm going to be painting these... I thought about it and my leg is goign to be pretty close to them I really don't want them to get scratched. If I was to carpet them, Do you guys think I should do them in black or a gray? I don't know how close I can get to matching the factory panel.

So today I sanded down the passenger side and hit it with soem Rage Gold. I also finally wrapped and resined the driver side.... I guess the driver side underdash sits a bit closer to the door. Its def. going to fit but it does touch so painting is out of the picture or it will rub off on the dash. I'm going to try and pick some suede tomorrow.

So today was pretty much a wasted day. Its been pouring rain here again all day so I can't really do any work on the pods. I did go to a few local fabric stores looking for suede but had no luck. One place had faux suede but it was paper thin and looked real cheap. I found a couple more upholstery places that may have it that I will go to tomorrow. The reason why I don't want to order the suede online is because I want to have these installed by the weekend and I don't want to pay to have over night shipping.
