For anyone considering these kicks, keep in mind a few things. Bob's kick panels, although spectacularly well done, and even better sounding, are considerably more complex not to mention expensive. If you are looking for something of that caliber, be prepared to spend 3-4x as much as Ren is charging, which is already well below market value, IMO.
If I still had my contour, I would without question purchase these kick panels. Keep in mind that speakers all have different optimum placements, in Bob's case, his position was best, but for others, it may not be. The point to the generic kicks to give you very good performance, and very simple installation, customized to the contour/mystique, at a very reasonable cost, with better build quality than the generic versions at Crutchfield. Also, with their positioning, you are going to get significantly better performance than the stock position.
If someone has an opportunity, get a measurement of the distance from the center console to the left side of the clutch pedal, then ren can get a good comparison of the clearance compared to an automatic.
I don't know if my endorsement means anything to any of the potential buyers, but if I were looking for kick panels that don't break the bank, I would not look beyond these.
