I'm interested in installing tweeters in the A-pillar. Does anyone know where I can get the grey cloth on the A-pillars to re-wrap them once I am done? I want to do something similar to this

That artical mentions Vetran Company Materials. I have tried to contact them but they have not responded. Any help from you members would be appreciated.

I think this is what I am looking for, the Pearl Grau. Does anybody have any experience with this dealer and this product?

I can't help you on the cloth material, but just had a comment/question. If you mold a tweet into the a-pillar what would happen in the event that your airbag needs to be deployed? Is there any chance that that tweet would interfere?

I've given it some thought. From what I have found, the Apillars seem to pivot to allow the air bags to deploy, the stay attached to the car and do not fly off. My tweeters would be attached to the exterior of the Apillar only and "should" not affect the Air bag. If somebody know something different please let me know.
