Tweeter mock up. Damn Toyota and your small sail panel location. Not going to be as easy as I originally anticipated. Was trying not to glass, but probably have to....

More test fitting. Cut the final bezel rings. Another test fit and alignment in car. Need to cut holes, make reinforcement legs....

Little more progress. Gotta clean up, prep surface and try wrap tomorrow

CA glue tweeter pods. Looks like it was doable. First pass. Couple more layers and some filler to go, but promising

Looks sweet man. You should make multiple sets of these and sell them on here. I did this in my 3rd gen long ago and loved the placement. The 5th gen looked a lot more difficult and I don’t have the fiberglass skills

Hate this part..... using the cheap stuff too

What tweeters are you using? I'd be interested in a set of these for some Sinfoni tweeters!

First round of high build and sanding done.... Should have done a skim coat, but was impatient. Shot second coat, too tired to continue. Tomorrow it is

Not quite dry yet. Trying some alternative methods to texture. Undercoating. Hope they come out ok. Waiting for this crap to dry sucks

Well... 80% happy with the texture. 50% happy with overall result. Feel like scrapping and stripping it down all over again.

I think paint is always going to be the better option. Vinyl shows EVERY little perfect under the surface where-as a textured paint would hide that. Finding the right texture may take a bit, but I don't think you're going to be super pleased with vinyl

Well if comes out like crap, I'll bite the bullet and get some SEM texture and color. Vinyl should be here in next couple days. Says at local post office but yet to be delivered
