I worked on the grill frames a bit. I decided to go with exposed hardware to hold the grill on. I was originally going to go with more traditional grill fasteners like on home speakers, but then I realized my gaps are so tight that it would be tough to get a grip on the grill to remove it. Plus these will fit right in with the Camaro interior fasteners.



Here is a picture with just some hardware I had laying around.



And the back side. There are mdf spacers here to keep the grill off the speaker and flush with the top surface of the pod.

Grill frame is coming along. Hardware looks good.



I also got the threaded inserts installed for the driver and the grill.

Any chance of a link to the hardware?

Wood texture looks great.

Fasteners are from ProBolt. If you are like me, you should probably just avoid their website. Some beautiful stuff there.

I got one of the grills done.

I first stretched the fabric over the frame and stapled to the back.



Then I ran a bead of CA glue along the edge. Then I removed the staples and cut back the excess fabric. I also ran a bead of CA glue along the side edge for some extra insurance.



Then I put some more CA glue around each fastener hole to stiffen the fabric. Then I used a step bit by hand to "drill" out fabric from over the holes.

Excellent work! This is going to look great once it's installed.

Just did a quick test fit of the grill in the pod.

I decided to take a little break from the door pods and start working on getting the 8" subs installed in the rear sail panels. I found that if I space the speakers 3/8" out from the factory metal, I can actually fit the speaker without trimming the metal. Good stuff. A factory style grill should just work without hitting the speaker.

Having trouble with my radio install. Gauge cluster and tail lights not working after. .

You'll have better luck getting a response by posting a new thread. Since the problem you state is with the gauges and taillights, the electronics sub-forum is likely more appropriate.

Apologies for the crappy picture. But the speaker fits great with no metal cutting. Next I need to install some rivnuts in the factory metal to attach the baffle to the car.
