true, thats why I said that it would take a few hours to do, and
a professional it shuold be an hour or under easily. And true, I
hate cuttign holes in stock pieces, heh in my old Jetta GL, I had
cut out 2x3" holes in the door for tweet plate. When I sold the car,
I removed the tweets, glued a piece of cardboard behind the hole and
re-glued the carpet to that cardboard..hehe, looked like a chop job, 
but I didn't care, it wasn't my car anymore. And if you mess up 
placing the tweet..you can always buy a new inner door skin,they
shouldn't be THAT much seeing any one will fit from any year close
to yours...or you can always just put a sticker over it =] we're just
talking about a small, 3mm hole.
