Impossible Panels?

[sungwei 10+ year member]

I really wanna do custom kick panels but there's no room on the driver side by the clutch. The way the Accord ('94 sedan) is designed leaves no space for anthing. The foot rest is all the way up against the edge. Behind it is the fuse box and hood latch. Has anyone done kick panels for this car and if so how? If I can't do kick panels is there anything else for this particular model that works well with fiberglass? I really wanna work with it but I can't think of any ideas.

Got any pics of the area? Anything is possible with fiberglass.

i saw an accord a few weeks ago that had custom fiberglass pods at the very bottom front of the door panel... vinyled the same color as the door panel... housed a type-r 6½" mid.... didn't sound very bad at all...

Yeah I could get some pics. Man I'm telling you it's a tight fit. If I did put anything there my leg would be in the way. I didn't think about off the dool panel though. Still I question how much better that would make it sound as it would be hard to angle toward my head in that position. I think the new Accords have more room. The 94-97 models are a bit more compact.
