Angry Type R Components (door speaker trouble)

arite, so heres the deal. went to go put in the door speakers today and to my huuge disappointment, they did not fit ! let this be a warning to anyone thinking about these speakers! also, they are too deep, and they touch the window, so a spacer is required. so now im stuck with speakers that dont fit and theres really nothing i can do about it. does anyone know of a place that will do this install for me? i cant return the speakers as i got them from Ebay... maybe not the best idea, but what am i gonna do? please let me know if some place like brandsmart or sound advice will do an install like this. now i have to deal with the sub and amp...

So why not make a spacer?

i thought about that, but not only would i need a spacer, id have to cut the metal frame of the car, something im not too willing to do.. the magnet is too deep, and the spacer would have to be larger too, and then that would probably interfere with the stock grille and door panel... i think im just gonna take it to sound advice and let them do it..

there is a tsx on sounddomain.com with the typr-r's. the install is very clean, but the outter lip of the speaker is flush with the door. i'd be afraid that someone would accidentally kick them in or something.

Cutting is required for the Type R. I kept the stock grill, though. And there's a good amount of room between the speaker and grill. Probably 1/2".
