okay, i've thought about this and am pretty sure i want to do this, but i'm not 100% sure yet.
i'm building an SQ audio system. i really don't think the stock tweeter position/angle in GTs and GLSs with tweets is particularly good for optimal imaging. i just picked up a new pair of a/d/s 236is separates and am seriously thinking of surface mounting the tweeters on the small black triangular trim piece next to the side mirror. this will place the tweeters higher, and much closer to the ideal 180 degree angle to each other. plus that corner of the door is relatively inconspicuous to the glancing eye.
the problem is i don't like the idea of having the stock tweeter grille if it's not being used. i really don't like form not following function. if there's no tweeter there, i don't want an empty grille. (i could leave the tweeter there unused, ready to hook back up when i sell the car, but it would constantly bother me that it's there). it's just a quirk of mine.
i know there are a lot of GLSers out there who are looking for these panels/grilles. i'd be willing to do an even trade for a set that lacks the tweets for mine, and i'll include the tweets that came stock. the catch is that i'd want to receive the GLS panels BEFORE i dismantle mine and mail them off. i can't afford to not have the panels before i do the install.
if i were to go ahead with this, would anyone want to participate in the trade? it's a great way to get a free upgrade, with the only caveat being that you have to send yours off first and wait a week or two before getting mine.
i'm just going to gauge response for now...if it happens, it will probably be in august.
