How do you get factory finish and texture??

Those tweeters are powerful enough to only need one pair for two sets of 6.5s.

Well I would, but I'm not running active so I'll just be adjusting them at -2 on the crossover

The sem is exactly what you're looking for also sem should have a paint color to match your interior I'd recommend going to your local sem dealer and have them show you what you'll need.

Thanks bro... I'll have to find a dealer near me and get that worked out!!

I've seen some people use a clay almost instead of fiberglassing, I'm not sure how to make the clay hard enough and then wrapping it... But I had a high high high end shop who was leveling with me after they seen my car and mentioned my A pillars.... Saying that if I can mold play dough then I can make pods in my A pillars. Never got too much farther though.

Ok so now for the tweeter pods. Here was the process:

1. Mount the ID supplied angle mounts to apillar with hot glue.

2. Apply modeling clay.

3. Sand modeling clay with 80 grit

4. Apply evercoat putty

5. Sand putty

6. Apply more putty

7. Sand Putty

8. Apply rubberized undercoating for texture, 3 coats to get it just right and blend into the rest of the apillar

9. Paint with SEM color coat

10. Drill hole for speaker wires.

They turned out pretty good the texture was hard to get right however turned out looking awesome. The pod looks much more sleek with the Image Dynamics ring around the tweeter and really tied it all in. Lemme know what you think.

Found that for you. My guess is that since tweeters are light weight and don't play frequencies low enough to really need reinforcement (like midbass) that the clay and body filler supply plenty of support. Tempting to do my A pillars after reading that.
