Hey guys, just thought I'd share a few tips learned from swapping out my front speakers yesterday.
First off, if you don't want to gut your factory speakers or build an MDF spacer ring Metra makes an adapter ring that worked perfectly for me swapping in 6.5" component woofers. Like $15 on Amazon
http://www.metraonline.com/part/82-5604 - The middle ring in the picture, you will need to cut off two small orientation pins.
For securing my new tweeters I used Bondic. It's basically a mass market dental resin that cures instantly under UV light. I'm sure hot glue or epoxy would work just as well, but this stuff cures right now and it's all portable/cordless. Also, no fumes/smell. Starter kits are $20, but you can find them with an extra refill for that price.

Finally, when removing the screw cover that's behind the door handle there's no recess or keyed spot to get a screwdriver/trim tool in. You have to push the front (side towards the headlights) of the cover in and the back pops out so you can pry it out.
Hope this helps!
