Finally finished my a-pillars. There is alot more than meets the eye here. I didn't have a flat spot to mount the tweeter so I had to cut out part of the pillar, fill the area with a piece of 1/4" abs, re-shape it, then texture and paint. BTW, the SEM texture spray and their color coat are awesome products. Their are a few areas that I should have built up and sanded some more but overall I think they came out rather well.

WOW that's way clean!!!!, did you try listening to them placed a little bit higher in the A Pillar?

 

[STI<>GTO]

Thanks for the comments guys!

I tried them all over in the dash area, and this was the best compromise between sound/permanent modifications.

wow did you paint the tweeter grille also? and you did all that without fiberglass?

 

[STI<>GTO]

Yep, I painted the grills, and yep, no fiberglass. Just a little body filler. Really wasn't that difficult, and I had plenty of room behind the panel.

I don't think I have the courage to cut holes in my plastic trimming for the A panels. If i mess up im screwed so i guess it'll just have to be sloppy

 

[newtitan]

so how did you paint the tweeter grile, without getting paint on the tweeter surface

just curious

 

[zfactor]

pull it off maybe???

 

[newtitan]

the grille doesnt come off (at least it didnt on my few pairs of 25nfa's0

 

[STI<>GTO]

The grill does come off. I (very carefully) used a pick to pry the grill off. And you don't have to glue it back on either - the neo motor keeps it attached rather well.

Glad I found this thread. Even though its a bit old, its just what I was looking for. I have an 06 STI and am trying to figure out the best way to mount tweeters in the A pillars. I love the descrete look. Did you take any more picks during the fabrication stage? Just trying to figure out how much to cut and where.

 

[STI<>GTO]

No more pics, sorry. But it will probably get redone in the spring, and I'll take more pics then.
