[SCG] Re: Stock Question

[airvair]

All,

I'm not sure pictures will go thru, but I'll try attaching a pair of
pics of the two speaker grills in one of my FACTORY-equipped stereo
speaker cars (I have three, one of each body style). I'm also planning
on having it at the convention in the SCG event.

I can email these pics to anyone who wants them, if they don't come
thru.

I'm also CC'ing Clark's and Wall's, just in case they want to pick up on
offering this item.
