[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8807176, member: 656095"] Had my sister over today so I didn't get to work on the A pillars. The fibers get into everything and I didn't want her to drive an hour home super itchy. She did help though. I got the baffle mount holes for the subs redrilled, a final layer of reinforced filler and covered it in suede. I am reworking the kicks. I didn't like the wrap and there were a couple issues I wanted to address. My sister heIped me strip them down and prep them for rework. I won't show those again until I am happier with how they came out. Here are a couple photos of the baffle to tide ya over... [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220827_140246.jpg"]42095[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20220827_174654.jpg"]42096[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20220827_174745.jpg"]42097[/ATTACH] Ironically, or not really; the color looks different between the rear door pods and the baffle but it is from the same bolt of fabric. Weird I guess... The baffle looks much more blue. In any case the baffle needs to be mounted but I need some longer hardware. I will use some black suede on the rear of the baffle so the trunk matches. I have a bolt of fabric in suede and leather from when I built my 550i. Eventually I want the whole trunk suede but we are getting way ahead of ourselves. Ask me about it again next month. The holes are drilled already I just haven't cut the fabric, I need to pick up some fresh blades. With the larger stainless steel flat washers it should give me the look I'm going for. I may switch to anodized hardware to match the gold pins I put in the rear door speaker pods but that's a thought for another day. I should have more progress pics tomorrow and throughout early next week. [/QUOTE]
