Hey,
I saw that pic of your door pods which you have made and fiberglassed to your door cards. Just wondering how you intend to cover them, are you going to use vinyl becuase that looks nice but might wrinkle around the contours of the pods? I'm planning on taking the same approach for front speakers, wondering how you're gonna do it.
cheers

| vinyl really isnt the hardest thing to contour around the bends of the pods. a little tip for ya, go down to big w and buy yourself a heatgun in the tool section for thirty odd bucks (make sure its the cylinderhead type) and with a little bit of heat on the vinyl, you can make it twist and turn and whatever the fuck you wanna do with it. this aint bullshit either. this is what i do for a crust so i know what im talking about. hope that helps mate. cheers |

| yes thats tru, a hair dryer would work as well. but id rather go and buy the proper heatgun to save confusion with the guy at the counter. i for 1, im male, and also i havent got any hair to dry. it would be rather hunerous tho. :p |
