Interior Pics of one piece windows?
I've noticed that the kit has that little filler plate at the front. What does it look like from the inside? I was thinking of mounting a mirror to the outside on it and a tweeter on the inside of it. Possible? Pics would help so much. Thanks!

i did a mirror on mine, i drilled the holes for the mirror and mounted it from inbetween the corner piece, i used allen cap screws and a modified allen wrench. these are the best pics i got.

I dont have any pics of mine because ive only go the passenger side done but mine looks like wages except i mounted a m3 power mirror to the outside of my bracket. The little triangle close out piece wasnt big enough so i fabbed one out of aluminum and mounted it too the suplied close out peice. I also had to run a butt load of wires into that bracket which wasnt easy. Its taken quiet a bit of time but i havent seen anyone use the mirrors i have yet and more so i dont think ive even seen any power mirrors on one of these old trucks yet so hopefully it will be worth all the work.
You could mount a 1" tweeter to the bracket but i wouldnt. I know that alot of new car manufacturers have these 8 speaker systems with tweeters in all sorts of awkward spots and some on those syatems sound okay but any stereo guru will tell you that seperating the tweeter that much from the woofer is NOT a good idea. I definately recomend the one piece windows though. I had a perfect set of vents installed and they never looked very good but as soon as i hung one of the new 1pc doors on i knew it was the best $350 i spent so far on my truck. I havent run juice to them yet though so i cant comment of the operation of them just yet. |

Thanks for the pictures lost wages! Looks like I will be doing that setup with the mirror.
And Greyhoundsteve, I realize that it is best to have the mid and tweet close together, but I have experimented with tweets like that firing at the windshield and it gave a higher, more centered soundstage. I was looking last night and although it has worked in cars, due to the interior design I don't think it will work in my truck. I'll likely just end up putting everything in the kicks, but I like to try new things with my stereos sometimes, just to see if there is a better way out there. Thanks for the advice and hopefully your mirror/window setup is everything you want it to be. EDIT: Also, how does that little filler plate attach in there? does it weld in or bolt in or what exactly does it attach with? Thanks!

Its bolt in and attaches with screws like the vent windows do. It would have been a really easy install if not for some grinding i had to do to the door hinges for clearance and the mirror mounting which is still proving to be a chore.
