New life for an old sub box!

I picked this up from an awesome C5 member over the winter and finally finished the install! I polished the grill and powder coated it to match the car before putting it in.

I put new ones on a couple years ago. Don't recall where I got them but they are easy to find. An install tip, IIRC the clips don't need to be fully off to unclip them. They will FLY to a place to hide if you fully unclip. Try not to or e.g. use a rag to contain them as you unclip. My new struts clips were too stiff and damn hard to install so I finally gave up and reused my old OEM clips which worked much better.

Thanks for the tips. I know the clips can be a pain, dealt with it a few weeks ago when I swapped the old strut to my new hood.
