Kick Pods + Stick Shift?

Anyone got any pics of the kick panel pods, with a manual? Curious as to the clutch clearance... I wear a size 13 shoe.

Here's a pic.. As for foot room, forget about it Your pretty much stuck leaving your foot on the clutch or just above it.. I still think it's worth it for the difference in sound that kick panels give over coaxels..

Yeah it fits fine, I think it needs to be a little bigger so you can get the kick panel in right.. The wire thats showing is just a wire that I ran that's not exactly hidden too well.. You can find more pics on my website in sig.. click the "My 1991 Z28" link on the left then stereo installation at the top of the table.

I always buy **** online so I usually end up with crappy warranties, I got them from cbrstereo.com, but off one of their ebay auctions for $315 and they sound great.. Haven't heard any distortion from em yet!

My pods are a little different that other people's, but my dead pedal is still MIA. No chance of using it, but so far I haven't really missed it too much.

As for problems shifting... I don't have any. Even when I wear some of my unusually wide shoes, I have plenty of room to shift without hitting the speaker.
