[QUOTE="2004alpinewhite, post: 4001296, member: 583300"] Ok, I wanted to keep the door panels looking as stock as possible, so here's what I did. I taped off the stock panels and sprayed them with pam.. I taped over the pocket, because originally I was going to attempt to get the speakers further forward, but after making it I realized that it wasn't just d*mn near impossible.. It was LITERALLY impossible..
