Fiberglass Rear Side Panels

[Thunderscrash 10]

Like most people, at some point in time someone had the bright idea to put 5" holes in the rear side plastic panels for speakers. I was wondering if anyone has used fiberglass to fill in the holes and how well did that work for you? I have no experience with fiberglass so I am curious how easy it would be to do this. Is there a write up about it anywhere?

I'm sure it's do-able but i dont know its been discussed. The ultimate challenge will be restoring the surface texture so that it matches the rest of the panel. There was a thread about installing speakers and grilles in the panels that follow the contours of the panels as seen in some later model cars.

I think quality speakers in the holes would look better than trying to fill them with fiberglass. Don't know how you could match the grain without making a mold.
