California Install

First off I want to thank Derek AKA "OMGWTFBBQ" for showing me the best time I have ever had on a trip. You are the best man.:tup: Second for those of you that may no know, I was flown to California Orange County for a install on a 370z. I have to say it was simply awesome. Also for those of you looking to upgrade your front speakers and think you are limited to a few speakers. Your not! the spacer rings that z closures makes can be used over top of the existing plastic spacer already there. So without further a due here is the install! Enjoy and please feel free to comment and ask questions.

Using the z closure spacers and installing them with some bigger bolts you can fit just about any speakers in your door, just as long as you shave some of the ring off were the bolt goes the door panel fits perfectly with a good amount of clearance.
