panel removal....

ok, when i was installing my taillights, i accidentally dropped a socket into the hatch door........and i was unsucessful in retrieving it....how do i get the interior panel off to get that bastard out? its really starting to piss me off....any help is greatly appreciated :D

i dont know but if u are installing altezzas does that mean you are selling your red/clears will those fit in a 5th gen coupe? if yes id like to buy em offa you.

if your honestly going nuttz over it, just go to your local book store and check out a chilton/haynes manual and it should tell you. I honestly dont know which piece your talkin about so I cant give you any walkthroughs....sorri. btw more then likely its a screw here, screw there and WALLAH!

nevermind, i got it....just like the rest, just a bunch if clips.. i got it out today, also installed my amp/cap/sub to my new carpeted floor :-D

cleaned it out too, vaccumed, the works..

SOOO cant wait to get the carpet and seats tho...definatly in dier need of it....the previous owner obviously had a long haired dog that had sex in the back seat, and in the passenger seat, must have driven the car a few times too..cause its EVERYWHERE :/

anywho, im stoked about that..ill get some pictures up if its of any interest to anyone.

magnetic screwdrivers are wonderful things

hey if your going to do any custom jobs on your speaker arangements or such...take a pic =) as i said earlier in SOME reply i cant remember...mah friends and i have a shop in dallas and we mainly deal with customization of things...as well as sell parts and junk...but yea lemme see pics of it =)...ill be takin pics of my car towards the summer...cus right now theres no money in my wallet cept for my girlfriend......a real money spender X.x.......

nothing spectacular yet........basically just wanted to get the amp outta the wheel well, and get the box to stop sliding around and stuff.

like i said, im not done, so dont flood the thread with "dude carpet the box", "dude carpet the seats" "looks good, but fix the seats" or "looks good, but i agree with $person, cover the seats and/or box.." ITS NOT DONE YET!! IT WILL BE CARPETED!

hey you need to carpet the box!
J/K, hehe

Do you have the rear cargo cover? Does it fit over the box?

no i dont have the hatch cover..which is weird, cause it appears i have a CX with the DX trim package..so you'd think i'd have that also..

hehe that is wierd...i like dat amp u got there..personal preference i woulda gone with two subs...but its a hatchback...1 will blow hard enuff :frog:

i actually have 4........but i took 3 out. used to have 2, but the box + subs == too much weight for my puny engine.. 1 is good right now, for just driving around...... quality bass, can be loud if i want, and light.

(4x400w 12s getting full power in a gutted hatchback == LOUD AS FUCK)
:D :D

if you want real crystal sound...go find a nice person who does some good power management customizations on computers and car sterios...tell them you want to cross over your speaker power wires to a mini power converter (i cant think of the real name off the top of my head)(usually two for each wire and 1 or 2 for the pre amp output on your head unit) , pump all the treble to your speakers (the power converters will push extreme power to your speakers which are gonna be your treble) and also push some more power through your amp and power converter to your sub. this will maximize sound quality by at least 45% plus its really cheap. power converters go for about $20 a pop. if you really want a detailed description then email me and ill give you a full layout. and trust me....this REALLY works and it makes your sound SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better even with stock speakers.

I've pulled that panel off as well but I could not get the knob on the hatch release off so I could pull out the cup that lies behind the release. I managed to get the hatch liner off by squeezing that cup and forcing it through the hole in the hatch liner but I cannot do the reverse to get the liner through. Did you manage to remove the release knob? Is there some trick? I am getting a new liner panel but I can't install it without figuring out how to get the release handle back through it. Help!
