I could if you really desire, but I used all the OEM materials. I just filed out about an 1/8th of an inch in the spacer to ensure the speakers dropped right in. The rears look completely stock just with new speakers underneath the grill. I also added a bass blocker on the 4x6 speakers. Helps alot and you don't miss the bass.

cool thanks.
really just wanted to know if you did indeed use factory grills.

cheers

Yes these are nice. I use these in my FJ Cruiser doors.

@sunlion: You betcha!

What was the little nubby bit in the first pic you filed off? I get that you were making room to line up the screw clips for mounting, but what is the nub protruding you filed off?

Daiys, if you see this, I get the rears accepted the factory grills, did you have that option on the front? I noticed in the pic you had the focal grills on. Was that by choice or factory wouldn't fit?

JPS

IIRC, the factory grills are pretty specific for the factory speakers. Since I upgraded to the 6.5, no hope of using factory. However, the Focal logo is pretty low...can't even really tell IMHO.

I had similar experience with Polk Audio 6.5's in the front and 4x6's in the rear. They sound great too.

I take it that this is not suitable for the HiFi option.

Actually, the Hi-Fi option allows you to easily make a 3-way front with the 6.5 in the stock location and a mid (3.5-4") mounted to the inside of the HiFi enclosure.

Need more details on this please!

Ed, were you able to find some Polks with modest looking grills for the front? The new ones look a little ... funky? DO you remember the model number by chance?

Yes, I think so. DXi650 for front and DXi460 in rear. I used a dremel to mod the rear stock grills, so they went in pretty easily as well.
