I bought my covers fro Hush Car Audio through this forum. He got them to me quick, and they cost me about the price of materials around here, so it was an easy choice for me. He even sent fasteners and rivnuts with them.

How big of an improvement do these make? I need to go back in and do some more sound deadening - I just did a "quick and dirty" job when I initially installed my speakers.

They make a difference if you seal and deaden the rest of the door properly. By themselves, you won't notice much of anything.

you will never truly seal your doors, there will always be weep holes in the bottom for moisture. you can however increase the performance of your speakers by "sealing" as much of the door as you can internally. there will be a noticeable difference once you have closed the holes with something and applied CLD/MLV.

Hey does anyone happen to have any pictures of the orientation for ABS door hole panel covers? Do they cover the white push tree pins?

Not sure what clips you are referring to but here is the passenger side door being test fit.

The panel covers them. You'll need to used some closed cell foam dampener to seal the panels to the door.

I just used some 1/4” weatherstripping
To be fair though, there's all kinds of holes on that metal anyway from where the Ford panel connects, air/moisture holes/slots/slits/etc.
@dhmcfadin - how much for an amp rack that goes in place of the Sony sub?

I used the clear plastic factory covering as a template for the pattern on a sheet of 3/16 ABS. I put the factory sheet back to seal the opening with the ABS on top. I used rivnuts and SS pan head screws. You will have to trim it here and there so it fits flat.
