It can be hard to find this kind of parts from elsewhere than from the dealer. But I can be wrong!

If you figure out a way to simple install the ski bag option I am sure alot of people would be interested. I don't know if it is possible. I have read that changing non-fold down seats (which I have) to fold down seats is virtually impossible.
Good luck.

If you are doing a sound system the ski bag would not benefit you. This mod allows the use of a forward facing sealed or bandpass box.
