When applying body filler you need to try and make sure you apply it in one sweeping motion to make it as flat as possible and make sanding easier. Not to mention that is an awful lot of filler.

Will be installed a little later. I stuffed a little bit of poly fill to help keep vibration down. Keep in mind that I am by no means an expert and wrapping fabric!!! I know there is a bit of overlay behind the speaker.

do you think a pair of 8's would work in that location? I've always had 12's and 15's but i think i want to try some 8's in the Z. Heard a 350Z with four 8's in the trunk and it sounded really good, but i dont want to lose any trunk space. Whatya think?

What material is that? Doesn't look like trunkliner which is perfect for that application because it stretches for days without looking like it. I once wrapped all six sides of a sealed enclosure in one piece of trunkliner without cutting it once just for reference. They do look good though

8's would be really tight, I/you would have to raise them and probably title them towards the front a lot more. Also center them to the pod instead of at the side. Last but not least you would have to make sure you had enough air space for them. It would be tight but I think it would be possible.

It is almost like pantyhose only much thicker and more dense. I forget what its called as I had the customer order it ahead of time.

Thank you for the complements.
