here's are a few horrible pics from my camera, we are working on getting professional photos... 12"

Update: Wrapped the pods in vinyl today. What a pain in the ass this was. Oh and a heat gun gets hotter than a mother fiucker even on low heat ! And before you go there Jay-cee and The Tatman....... yes you did try to warn me, but I am a knuckle head and had to try it. They turned out pretty ok, but nothing extra special. There are some stretch marks, mostly on the bottom. That was by design as it wont be seen. If I had it to do over again, I would not use vinyl and would have just painted them. From the sound of it, I may be doing it again like it or not if the vinyl starts letting lose. Looks good now tho, so fingers crossed. Here are the really shitty indoor pics, but I will take some better shots outdoors tomorrow. In the group shots it looks like there is a wrinkle on the front right pod, but I just went and checked and to the eye it's not there. I was very damn close to pitching a full blow fit! I am ready for this project to be over. It has kicked my ass and I am ready to move on to the sub enclosure.

Something I found on another forum and saved for quick reference.

We have them in stock! At group buy pricing, feel free to order. Also here is a great review on them... Do you happen to know the mounting depth on those mids? That is what is holding me up at this point, whether or not they will fit in my car. Just took this just for you

I'm constantly amazed at the low quality of the stock materials used, even in relatively expensive vehicles. Some will have decent stuff on the center tunnel and then cheesey asphalt based coatings everywhere else. I've seen thick layers of plain asphalt, coated asphalt sheets that go through the paint bake (very common) and even asphalt impregnated cardboard that was falling off on the roof a Dodge pickup that was falling off after 6 months. Some of these things seem to have been designed to get you through the test drive. The asphalt on the floor of an Hummer H1 had turned into a stringy goo that I cleaned off with a plastic ices scraper. Except for the rock hard, backed on material that is meant to stiffen panels, I'd suggest removing whatever stock material you can. As ///M5 said, do not bother putting aftermarket damper on top of either stock damper or other layers of aftermarket product. It has to be in contact with the panel to work. Additionally layers are damping the layer underneath, more than the panel itself. I wish I'd know this when I started. My car was a test platform for a lot of materials. I followed forum "wisdom" at the time, applying layer after layer of various vibration dampers. Car was solid and all of those layers created a decent barrier but it was incredibly wasteful. Not to mention that the sheet metal is completely inaccessible so that even something as simple as PDR is impossible. Now that I've treated similar cars the proper way, I'm tearing out the old stuff to redo it. The proper amount of the right materials is easier, cleaner, less expensive and WORKS MUCH BETTER. Here's what I'm pulling out: That's right, 8 layers of mat followed by 2 layers of liquid. Terrible job.
