Posted May 5, 200916 yr Im tryin to see if anyone can custom fiberglass me some door panels, entire door panels for both of my doors of my car.I know some companies locally that do it but they charge extremely, i mean EXTREMELY large amounts of money for it. To give you an example, they charge $1,500 to do a 14cuft wall in my car.... i dont know why they told me that a while back but that's not what i wanted from them anyway because i know how expensive they are.I'm lookin to spend no more than $300 per door. Is that too low? I can't find anything for a Scion tC.
May 5, 200916 yr I think that is a pipe dream. $300 isn't really jack considering the time and effort required to do doors right.
May 5, 200916 yr To be honest, that seems alittle low. You are talking complete new panels and that takes some time to do correctly, and you really dont want to skimp on them. Try looking up a couple of people- epicenterdesigns, and or coogle. They are members of a couple of different forums one of them being Fiberglassing forums. They might be able to help you out in what to expect.
May 5, 200916 yr Author ok thanks, what type of price range am i to expect because i have no basis, no guideline on what they normally cost.It would involve replacing the entire door panel with the ability to hold 3-4 6.5" woofers per door.How much would one expect to spend per door... then, how much woudl one expect to spend to do it themself if they had the knowledge?
May 5, 200916 yr Depending on what you want done and where you are located. I normally charge $1000 per door if the door is to be wrapped and speakers flushed with customs grills. If it is to be painted I wouldn't even consider any less than 1800 per door. It is a real pita getting glass to stick to plastic without paint cracking down the road.
May 5, 200916 yr Author oh, hehe, i guess i look retarded askin $300... So, it sounds not an easy job to do, especially one to try on the first time FG-ing.Well, that probably about sums up my curiosity for now. Thanks guys, i will continue to research
May 5, 200916 yr If someone out there already has the molds. $300-$500 would be a doable price. But going by scratch it just takes too much time.
May 5, 200916 yr $300 will get you the materials to do 2 doors. that would leave another $300 to cover labor. youd have to be desperate to take that job, or really enjoy sanding fiberglass (who doesnt? )

May 6, 200916 yr Author I am talkin to a guy locally who may do it in terms of only FG-ing the part of the door where i would need extra speakers at instead of the entire door....He's askin me if a door can typically handle up to 2 or 4 speakers because he's never done somethin like that before.Is there anything special that needs to be done to help support the weight or is it ok? or do i need to stick with a certain speaker weight, etc?
