looking good. Im guessing you used a jigsaw to cut the holes in your mounting rings (not to be confused with baffles)? Id suggest getting a router and a circle cutting jig if you want to make perfect circle cuts.

I have a router, but not a circle jig... I dont care that the rings are perfect, because the only thing that will be seen in the end is the rounded over edges. I still have to do some sanding to bring them up to my standards, but for my first try ever.... I think there pretty damn good (and they're flush mounts). I still need decide how to have the tweeters orientated... front or back? Also i think my parking brake is gonna be a prob. but i dont use it anyhow.

take it out and add more layers if you need for strength.
I would leave the piece on the part you are trying to mold because sometimes if you add more layers and its not on the original panel it can warp.

Looks good, got a couple questions. How come people don't just glass over the stock plastic kick panels and work off those? How do you have yours attached? Did you use your router with a flush bit to cut the holes out after glassing or something else?

I didnt use them incase i needed to put them back in there.

They are attached with one screw going through the back into the metal behind the panel. Holds VERY VERY snuggly

Yes, after glassing i just used my router to cut the holes out.
