Has anyone done a clean speaker pod removal. One of mine is busted and I was just thinking of removing them for a cleaner look. Has anyone done this? Do you still have the heater tube in place. Please post some pics, thanks!

the clean look is to leave them in and put a black shade behind them as the factory did. New grilles are cheap now that URO has duplicated them. Without the grill the blower hose and the inner wheel well with a hole in it are exposed giving the car a very very unclean look

I did exactly as said above.
I tossed the speakers and put the pods back in place. I'll try not to kick them at any point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

I thought about covering mine with leather like the rest of the interior since I don’t want a radio but it hasn’t happened yet.

FOR ME...No audio system in Chucky, so I'm thinking about deleting speakers, modifying the face (grill section) with a recessed cubby space.
Just enough for house keys, remotes, masks etc...recovered to match the interior. Nothing too obvious, yet functional. Oscar |

Oscar Oscar My 73 911s had a factory carpeted area right there where you could drop you wheel llock key or whatever. Say a double carpeted to make a kangaroo pouch kind of thing. One carpet to seal the area and second piece to make the pouches. Bob B  |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
Tin snips, a piece of sheet metal, one 90 bend then wrap around a 2"pipe, some contact cement and some black leatherette.
I can't see it being too hard. |

20+ years ago I made a pattern for an all perlon interior, deleting the backpad and the speakers and grills. I just carpeted over the porthole in the jamb and the heater tubes. Unfortunately I scrapped the pattern for that part by accident.

I was thinking 356 like, but with a cup/bottle holder. Likely 3d print it. Didn't run with it as I decided not to put speakers in the doors.

If the speakers are going away, I really like the idea of the storage pouches.
