RodDoors Kickpanel 69 Camaro

[kenhaw]

Hi

Have been looking at the kickerpanels from RodDoors for my 69 Camaro.
Have anybody tried them out? What to do with vents and controls?

[zcrz]

I have them. You delete the vents, they will be covered. It changes getting in and out too, kinda tight by your feet with the speaker sticking out.If you have a tilt column and low bolsters on your seat its probably ok.

ZCRC. Did you put a support ring on the back side of the panel for the speaker? Or, did you just screw the speaker to the abs? Were there any issues with fitment?

I have a set of these panels and the trunk kit and am just wondering how it's going to fit up.

thanks, Mike

i screwed it to the abs, seemed to work good

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

I wasnt really happy with the initial fit of my set.. Plus the passenger keeps knocking the cover off my speaker on the right side...It seems I can get used to getting in and out, but I always forgot warn the passenger...

[Irnmike]

Here are mine test fit. Still need to cover them. My speaker grills screon so no problem there. They stick out a little more than I thought, but not something I can't get used to.

Iorn Mike, how is getting to the dimmer switch?

[Irnmike]

UH, it's not impossible, but you have to work at it. I was just thinking today that it would be nice to move it inboard. Or, maybe forward. I got the stereo working a few days ago and it sounds amazing. I cant imagine getting good sound without doing something at least similar to this. I can take a better pic if you need one.

[kenhaw]

they look a little like the ones I bought for my C-1500. Think some fabric, leather or carpet would make a good finish.
Do you remove the old kick panels prior to installation?

[Irnmike]

Yes, they replace the originals

[kenhaw]

Can´t wait. Have had my Camaro for 4 years with lousy stereo and speakers. I have a pretty nice setup in my C-1500 with boston speakers so I know how it can sound. The engine noise is nice but music just makes the whole picture so much better.

[Irnmike]

Yep, I like it at hwy speed. Gets old listening to 3600 rpm sometimes. Crank it up and enjoy the ride.

[kenhaw]

haha then you should try riding with me, its more like 6.000 rpm on the highway.

Damn! You must have 5 series gears. Or--go cart tires

[DarkoNova]

Wow those look horrible. Sorry but wow.

Wow those look horrible. Sorry but wow.

Damn! That's a little harsh. These may not be SEMA show material, but they're the best I couldfind off the shelf.

Try these out, I just ordered them and they look like a better fit than the ones from roddoors. They are from firewheelclassics.com

[JcGc]

Does any one have a picture of the kick panels installed from firewheelclassics.com? I'm curious to see what they look like in a car.

I should be able to post some by next week, they are supposed to be here on Friday
