Default access panel cover for c6 door

Title says it, I hope. I'm about to up grade the stereo in my 08 C6, everything except HU. I'm putting together all materials I will need before hand. Does anyone make a cover for the door access panel. You know, the cover to the area you reach in to work on the window or any of those other inside the door projects. As I understand it the factory one is a rubbery material you end up cutting out. Am I right on this? I'm obviously looking for a pair of these things.
Thanks

Dan

I have sold a bunch and just made a bunch more of my Alumalite filler plates for those huge holes. They only weigh 11 0z each and are so stiff no mat is needed on them, just $39 a pair.

I also make Alumalite speaker baffles, going from a 10 to a 6.5 leaves a lot of baffle yet mine, wraped in Ensolite so they look good behind the grills, sealed as it is the gasket and non reflective acoustical properties, just 4.5 oz and $39 a pair.

To help save on the amount of deadening needed in the doors I have aluminum channels to stiffen the door skins, just $19 a set of 4.

If you need deadening I have the best you can buy for the money, a direct competitor to DE but just $89 for 37.5 sq, just what these cars need for the doors, behind the seats and the whole rear area. The floor and tunnel up front do not need much in deadening but not a bad idea to insulate them for heat, mainly the tunnel.

I use PS Ensolite every where I mat and every where else as well, except inside the doors, just a little behind the speakers to break up the back wave. Super low weight, very high thermal and acoustical results

Basic package, doors, behind seats, full rear areas.

1 pack BXT II 89.00
4 yards PS Ensolite 44.85 add 1.5-2 yards for the rest of the car

Baffles cut to your speaker size 39.00
Filler panels 39.00
channels 19.00

I am also OEM licensed for Vette audio packages for Image Dynamics products and recommend some tiny killer amps as well that fit into the stock bose amp location.

Interested?
Give me a call
Thanks

Rick, I may want to order the stuff that I made BOLD above. I recently got some Ensolite and the BXTII from you.

I guess that combo would be around $60?

Thanks, Randy

EDIT: Rick, called you and will be placing order.

RUNTRUN, I just upgraded everything but the HU also. You'll be surprised how good a factory HU sounds with some good speakers and amps.

The one thing I am finding, no matter how much I tweak things adding an outboard EQ to the stock HU outputs before the amp helps get it much better but the stock output is very clean. just no real tuning!

Hey guys thanks for the help. Rick I will be in touch to get a pair of your alumalite filler panels.

EVRose...I'm looking forward to the results.

Now I've got the task of fabbing the tweeters in the a-pillars. FUN !!!
