Thumbs up Phenryiv1's door spacer review

I got these spacers sent to me about a week ago a finally was able to sit down and write about them and load up a few pictures.

First let me say thanks to phenryiv1 for sending them to me I'm glad I could help with test fitting. When I first received them, I couldn't wait to rip open the package and get my grubby little hands on them. The pictures online really do no justice to the quality of these things. Just imagine a piece of mdf, only much lighter and to me stronger. They were cleaned up well also all holes and cuts were clean, no burrs or other bullshit that I had to mess with before installing them.

Overall I would have to rate these a 5/10 tho. Now that is until he does about 5 mins of tweeks to it for the next batch. The problem I ran into as you will see is that they dont totally cover the original hole perfectly. its about a 1/4" gap or so on the top. For now I have deadner between my door and the piece so its no problem.

The other problem is I think some new hardware should be shipped out with this even if you charge another 2-3$. The stock hardware is much too short and I think the plastic inserts are shit anyway. I ended up getting some 1.5" long bolts and securing them with washers and lock nuts on the backside. Its not going anyway and has a nice tight seal.

If these 2 items can be addressed I would easily rate it 10/10. It really is a nice set for a good price. It fit very well(pretending it is the next batch a lil taller) to my Milles, I did not have any issue with hitting the window nor with diameter.

I attempted to use the dash speaker pieces he included but between time and incompatibility it wasn't even worth taking pics of trial fitment. I included a shot of how I ended up doing my mids and tweets tho.

Also sorry in advance for my picture taking, I am pretty terrible at it.
