Those look fantastic. They didn't obstruct too much. How did they sound?
The horns are in jacksonville FL. http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/ele/3972100583.html
Not in bad shap either.

I did it, with the help of a buddy. I worked at a shop one summer, and basically apprenticed. These were huge tweeters, so it was tough to fit them on those small pillars. We had the vinyl done by an upholstery shop though - the curves were too severe to wrap the thick vinyl around. My buddy made the aluminum rings on the lathe - I will take no credit for those haha!

As long as they go to a good home. I'm tempted, but I still can't drive my stang yet due to the surgery, so I can't even sneak out and buy them without the wife knowing. I do have a Dr. Appt on Thursday, so maybe I'll get some good news.
Where/when is the St. Aug mustang club meet?
Where/when is the St. Aug mustang club meet?
When is appx. 10am until whenever. Several folks are staying overnight, and I'm sure there's gonna be some 'adult fun' (read: bars) going on later on. The group is leaving Orlando around 8am, and I figure appx. 2 hour cruise up the back roads (I'm assuming)... I'll post more details later in the week if you're really interested. Didn't want to hijack your thread.
Hope all goes well with the Dr. Appt on Thursday!

Yeah, I'm totally on the fence though, as they have the piezo drivers, whereas the mini horns have the pro drivers which are true compression drivers.

Look, let's analyze this rationally....
How often do you come across something of that quality at that price in such close proximity to you? If you wanted to buy them (assuming you could find them on eBay) they'd be well over the $200 the guy is asking for them.
Considering they're NIB, that makes them even more of a value. Combine that with the fact that you already know their performance level (and thus, won't have to waste time with other brands), and it's a no-brainer.
Worst case scenario, you can always sell the extra parts (as LaserRed suggested) and make back some of your investment. Win-Win scenario! What else are you going to get for close to that price? I spent $300 on my Alpine SPX-17PRO components and I'd never heard them before (they do sound great, btw... - you're getting exactly what you want for 2/3's that price.
I hate to use the phrase, but YOLO - You Only Live Once. Go ahead and do something for you for a change!

Here's my Milles. I have OEM matching vinyl for the pillars but haven't gotten around to having it done. Plus I kinda liked the way the dark gray grille cloth blended in and made them a little more stealth. Also haven't decided on how to finish the doors yet, but they're deadened with Cascade Audio stuff.
And yeah the Escape is filthy inside, I'm probably one of the few owners who takes it off road haha. Actually took it on a few light trails today with my buddy. I hardly ever clean it because we always take it out on adventures.

If all goes as planned I should be getting the mini horns with the pro drivers next week.
