I took out all the plastic crap and made some wood surrounds out of mdf and then trimmed the panels to fit over it

Yeah when i did mine, i couldnt use the stock grill cover to go over the speakers. I even trimmed all the honey combs behind them and it still ddnt fit, so i just used the covers that came with the component set. I really dont like how it looks tho. Oh, and yes i used a dremel tool to cut out the inside so that it fit properly.

Yea I found that to be a bit of a problem, used prior plastic mounting kits I had because the new ones wouldn't fit properly. Do what RDub said it will be good.
