Anyone know of a company that makes decent kick panels for 5th gen civics? I'd rather not use Q-Forms goofy plastic ones.

2 choices:

live with q-forms

pay a shop approx $500 for them.

thats about the only way your gonna be able to buy kicks. at a shop, unless you specify exact details, they will probably not even aim them, ALWAYS at a shop, unless you say something it is called "installers discrecion" and if that installer happens to be in a bad mood, he may make some decisions for you that you might disaprove of.

on the other hand, if you request your kicks to be paintmatched to your car, clearcoated, imaged perfectly, chances are they are gonna charge you alot more than $500 for them.......

So there's no company out there smart enough to manufacture a competing product to q-forms?

well, here's an idea... i've never seen the q-forms... but i've heard the only place they lack is in terms of strength... why not reinforce the kicks with some fiberglass?

Exactly, Q-Forms fit the car well and are color matched. Just reinforce them with fiberglass and some damping material. I even use non-drying modeler's clay to add mass. A speaker baffle cut from mdf would also be a good idea.
