04' LX Aftermarket Tweeter Install Location

I have a 2004 Civic LX sedan (4 Door). I am trying to find a decent location to install aftermarket Polk MOMO Tweeters. The A pillars are too small, the mirror backings (Electric) are too shallow, and the crossover is mounted behind the door just to the left of the handle.

I was thinking about fiberglassing the mirror panels, but I have never done fiberglassing and I am afraid too.

Any suggestions? Are there any aftermarket panels I can buy to install my tweeters.

-Thanks

I made a fiberglass pod off the mirror plate.

get a set of tweeters from an ex, that way it will look stock and all you have to do is tap the 2 wires into the door speaker behind the panel. Very Easy IMHO.

You can also just cut a hole into the door panel and stick it in there to save yourself from fiberglass work.
