As I understand it - the Bose kick panels are not very common - in my 5+ years of searching eBay for Camaro parts DAILY, I've never seen them up for auction but maybe 3 times. And everyone wants some kind of kick panel with speaker provisions - if you swap them out for standard kick panels, be sure you get a good price for them. Q-Logic makes kick-panel speaker enclosures, I think they run about $230 for the pair, and IMO are big and ugly, and I've never read where anyone was happy with the installation.
The rear deck lid with the Bose speakers would be rare as well. ANY hatch cover that fits with the motorized hatch is rare - I had looked for one for years (again daily searching) and I finally gave up. Most all of the solid rear hatch covers were made for the cars without the motorized hatch, and they will not fit in a motorized hatch car as the hatch motor makes the rear plastic panel deeper to hold the hatch motor. So, if you decide to get rid of that hatch cover, be sure and sell the rear plastic as well, as a set, and I wouldn't give it up for anything less than $150 for the set of 2 pieces.
As a complete set (all 4 pieces) I wouldn't let go of for any less than $350 - and I'd try for $400 in all honesty.
{Of course alot of folks are going to say it's not worth that, hoping they can buy it from you for way less - if no one is willing to cough up $350 then hold it - in 5 years they'll be begging to give you $450 or better for the 4 pieces!}

I know - sounds like alot - but if you consider the "nickel & dime" factor that we all ignore - it's not that bad.
Example: when I was stuck on doing this in my Camaro ... I bought 2 different rear cargo pieces at $40 each only to find neither would work because of the rear hatch motor. I bought a solid hatch cover for $50 which I couldn't use because of the rear cargo pieces would not work. I spent another $40 easily on saws and attachments for the Dremel to try and modify the solid hatch cover which never worked. Plus the hours and hours spent on it that has value (I could have had a part time job making $9 an hour all this time).
Given this - I've easily "nickel & dime" myself into $200 already, and have nothing to show for it as I gave up - and this was just on the rear - I never got to the kick panels.
So $350 would have been easy to swallow all up front for working fitting no mads needed pieces!

Keep it (either in the car or in the garage). DON'T cut the threds either. You may want to put it back in some day.
There is a lot of demand for it on ebay.
I used to have one. Ending getting rid of it when I put subs in the back. Now I wish I had it.
what i meant was, its not worth it, because i can put a better stereo than the bose it came with. so unless ur trying to keep the original , its not worth it
Yea I want to keep it original since they only made like 4500 irocs in 90 I am just trying to figure out what came in the car and what the po put in there. Thanks for all the replys guys
