[DML] Re: Replacing speakers and follow-up trim work.

["sweetp01569" <sweetp01569@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Greg.  Everyone has been giving me some good advice, and I 
appreciate it as a new Delorean owner.  I felt terrible after 
damaging the trim edge, and come to find out that replacement gray 
rear trim panels are not available anymore (per Rob at PJ Grady's - 
he can paint black ones gray if needed).  I think I can hide most of 
the ripped edges with the weather strip, except for a 3 in. section 
right along the passenger armrest.  However, if I sneak a little bit 
of black silicone sealant in there to blend it into the door weather 
strip, I'll be good to go, although I hate mickey-mousing things 
like that.
