Great Fit

Panels are an awesome fit to my 1970 Beetle Coup. Minimum modifications needed and the carpet previously lining the kick panels covers the speaker panels fairly well (you can use some of the carpet you cut out for the speaker face to add to the shortage of carpet up top with some careful planning/cutting). Speakers work but are not the very best sound, but good enough. I think a bit of Dynomat may be in order as least above the engine compartment.
Pros: Great Fit, looks clean and minimal alterations needed.
Cons: Speakers are so-so.

So-So
Kevin from Norfolk, VA on 1/3/2013
Kick panels are made of ABS Plastic. Only time will tell if they hold up. Just to make sure there was no rattling, I used some peel and stick insulating material to the back of the panels. The panels do not fit the contour of the body exactly, but the self-tapping screws seem to hold it down okay. The clips that hold the speaker in place are less than desirable quality and the screws that come with them are unnecessarily long and are just a little skinny to get a good grip on the clips. I highly recommend using some wider and shorter screws. Also, it is best to mount the speaker before screwing the panel to the car body. The 6 3/4" speakers that come with this unit are so-so at best when paired with the head unit. I can't tell you what they sound like on another system. The Retrosound Zuma that I paired these with has only factory preset EQs or you can turn DSP OFF and have only Bass and Treble controls.
Pros: If you do not feel like making your own kick panels, this is one of the only options. They also come wit Retrosound 6 3/4" speakers as part of the kit. Speakers mount and are directed at the front cab passengers.
Cons: ABS Plastic may or may not crack over time. Speakers, when paired with the Retrosound Zuma Radio are so-so.
