    E30 Door Pods

    I have heard some people on here saying that they want door pods for their e30s... This is a design that is online that shows a good representation of one.



    I could make these out of fiberglass if i had enough interest. Not sure on price point until I mock one up and see how much time they take to make, but lets gauge some interest here.

    EDIT:
    I've been working on them tonight and should have at least one side of a prototype done soon.
    \


    Made for any size speaker up to 6 1/2"

                      Hello Steven, I am flattered that you like the door pods I built. I spent quite a bit of time coming up with a design that would allow a speaker to fit without cutting any metal as well as be aesthetically pleasing and compliment the design of the OEM door. If you would like to see more of this build done by my shop you can check out our website at:

                      We would be glad to serve any E30 owners if they are looking for a similar level of quality work.
                      Thanks.

                          here are some more pics of the pods we built. one thing though, virtually no fiberglass was used in the construction of it. wood and filler and a lot of router work :)
















                          Cheers :)
