I'd still test fit them. The billet probably kills the output making it not worth anything but cosmetic gain if that's your thing.

noodile -

Why not go full rally and mount 4 of them on the roofline just behind the top of the windshield? One thing's for sure.... you'd be the only one in the USA or perhaps the entire world.....

Yikes, 6" is huge. Ill see if I can get some 4" and do some test fitting. Im trying to keep mine hidden behind the grille, course my sedan lower mesh is alot smaller then the Koup's. If I cant make the them look good at the top.

5inches of the 6 fit through the grille. and depth wise the 500s are really shallow. Its just too cold out to fuck around with them.
