UPDATE:

Mounted baffles to the doorpods, stretched fleece. I realize they may look a little rough, just because I pre-drilled all the holes already, and I added a few more layers of glass.

hmmm....staples? never seen that before :)

looks real nice.

Yes, staples. (I used 6.3mm staples) They hold the fleece much more effectively while stretching. I used high-tack spray adhesive to attach the fleece to the backside. I found this to be much easier than attempting to adhere and stretch everything at once...

Today I resined the fleece, these doorpods are almost done, just have to bondo them, and then cover them in either vinyl or suede..

Staples are an excellent idea. Always good to have a mechanical fastener. I can't tell you how many times I've had problems on a corner because of no fastener or ridge.

Shoot MattB a PM and he'll hook you up on what you need to cover them. He's great to deal with!

Fleeced and resined, sanded and installed.

I am still going to Bondo them and cover them in either vinyl or suede... I also have to build a cover patch for the small area above the doorpods... should be pretty simple.. (some MDF and some fabric)...

Enjoy the pics...

See the gap?? I will probably fill it in with a small piece of MDF and covered in vinyl, probably with the DLS logo embossed into it or something.....I've got some ideas..
