So i finally got around to making my tweeters look like they belong in the sail panels.


I'm torn on deciding what to cover them in. I was thinking black vinyl, but then I was browsing select product's website and found


Has anyone ever worked with the Miami Vinyl from SP? I dont have too many extreme curves in my sail panels, so two way stretch should be sufficient.


I'm trying to go for a clean look in my car with black and silver. I think covering the panels in black would be too bland. What's everyone''s opinion?

In mobile dynamics we used helmaprene for all our coverings. I haven't been able to find anywhere to purchase it. what kind of contact cement does everyone use? i really dont wanna use super 77.

*update*
Finished these about 3 weeks ago, finally got the time to upload the pics, dont know if anyone's interested, but here they are. Decided to go with a satin black paint, they came out pretty nice.

I just used coupe sails and left them the black abs. Still, I'd think it's look best in something similar that makes them blend into the color of the top of the door skin.

I wish I coulda just mounted the tweeters and had it fill in the OEM hole, but who doesnt like extra work?

I think I'll go with black and see how I like it, I could always rip it off and try the expensive stuff

Another would be the crackle paint, or whatever it's called. Looks like OEM.

Looks good, but my alpine tweets fit right in the stock position with no problem.

well i tried to go the cheap route and bought vinyl from a local craft store, big mistake. I'm thinking about trying flock material, anyone ever use it?

my vote is grill cloth, after spraypainting the bondo black.

hmm, never even thought of that. Wont the glue show through the cloth, or would i have to adhere it on the backside only?

SEM makes a texture paint that replicates the stock texture You can pick it up at any autobody supply store. It works really good. If You paint it be sure to get some Bulldog Ahesion Promoter (Wal Mart) then use SEM plastic/vinyl paint.

As far as the grill cloth us 3M 90 don't spray it to heavy and it won't show through.

I just dont spray the cloth, just the hard surface. Works like a champ.
