It's on the to-do list but isn't a high priority. I have a 6disk alpine changer in the trunk. It is an ex so I got separates in the front. The rears are blown (sux). I am planning on getting maybe polks all the way around and driving them with a 4channel Alpine amp. I doubt I will do any subs.

Did you make that front lower mesh grill or did you buy it lready made? Where did you get it or how did you make it fit correctly? Can you also post a closer pic of it?

I made the grill myself. I used some grill material I bought from ebay for like $20. It is not the guter gaurd stuff - that **** stains, rusts, and doesn't look as good cause the openings are much smaller.

Basiclly, i cut out all of the black backing in the grill with a keyhole saw (a dremel would have been nice). I cut the entire unpainted part out - not just the cross members. Then I removed teh front lip and spill gaurds and worked the mesh up from behind. I had to bend the mesh to fit the irregular shape of he opening. Then I fastened it with some really small zip ties. Thats it - the only hard part was cutting out the opening. Since the mesh is put in from the back, it doesn't need to be cut exactly to fit.
