Thanks. I bought the paint from Lowes, I guess I just got luckey with the color match.

Good luck recessing the speakers, the photo you provided looks really nice. It would be quit a challange, good luck!

Looks that way too me as well. Did you remove the dead peddle ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the only place that it is dry are the places that we are going to trim off anyway...and actually most of it is just the flash on the camera //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

plus that is only one layer...apprx 5 more will be going on. and no, we didnt remove teh dead petal...

Removing the dead peddle itself sometimes makes for a great mounting point for the drivers side. Did in mine, once removed left me two bolt holes to use for mounting //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
