and I have a question? The fitment on the passenger side kick is a lil off, not by much, but a lil. I wish I had a pic right now to show, but I haven't had the chance.
...basically the quartermoon looking part that goes where the door closes goes up to much right where the glovebox is...and because of this the bottom of the kick panel, where it meets with the panel that is under where the door closes, is crooked and does not line up right. The bottmom of that part is cool, but the top part at where the door is is off. When I looked at other member's picks, I saw someone else who's kick is like that? Is that normal? It is probably becuase my speakers are to long in the back and are hitting the carpet.
Anywayz, my kick actually got a lil 1/4 of an inch crack on the outside where the door closes because my fitment is off. I have a feeling it is because of the speakers...but is there something special I should have done when installing them.
BTW, the speakers sound great in there

i dont remember there being anything special when installing q forms, but i dont think i have that problem with mine. maybe your speakers are too big and deep that they touch floor board a little causing the forms to stick out and up a little? i dunno, a picture might be more helpful, but i dont think they should be like that.
mine has a gap where it meets the door sill. ummmm..where the rubber strip is put on i can get my finger in there. i couldnt get that damn 2.5" screw in....i predrilled but couldnt find the damn hole..lol i got frustrated and quit. so i now have 6.5" in the door, 4" and tweet in the kick...just gotta hook my amp up now.

lol, i couldn't get that stupid 2.5" screw in either, its there, but NOT screwed it, but it sure looks like its screwed in there.
is it just me, or is that damn thing really long, i'm afraid it will come out the other end, like outside of the car.

Yeah, it looked like my screw just barely went into the the corner of the floor. I dunno...I think my speaker may be touching that rubber thing in back.
