^^My idea was to mount them via a bracket using a stud off the mirror and a 10mm nut (the one on it). I think that is what he did, I honestly don't remember now... I'll find out soon.
Any updates? What you described should be fine since the tweeter part of the triangle should hide the large black nut. I am definitely getting a pair of these whenever they are ready. I was going to mount them into my a-pillar, but this will be better placement.
I'll have to look again, but I don't see how you can easily put that 10mm nut back on once you have the tweeter pod on. Is it a straight shot through the tweeter opening ?
I've been trying to figure out a cost effective way of being able to mount them, with the tweeter in first, as many tweeters need a bracket from the backside to hold them in place. But as I've never been able to come up with something that will work at the price point people want to buy these at, I've been stuck with just friction mounting the tweeter cup once the pod is already fastened to the door.
...good luck.

Since it looks like the targa might be dead in the water as well, do you think it would be possible to get one of the fiberglass prototype pieces you had in the beginning? I think I might be able to do the rest of the work myself...

I don't think I could handle mass production. If you could hook me up with one of the fiberglass pieces (I'd use a hardtop off a car, but it kinda boring looking) and I managed to get it 100% I'd be more than willing to send it back and see if you could find someone else to pop a mold.

On my personal car I mounted an L shaped bracket to the nut. I then screw the tweeter cup onto this bracket and it holds everything in place

(Kind of like you mentioned before, as getting those as the first pieces of the actual sale?) I could paint or coat them myself, I just don't have the skills or the means necessary to attempt the fiberglass work. Thanks for trying 6LE, I know it's not your fault. It's a sad day when people like that don't want to help the F-body world.

Would it still be possible to get the prototype pieces that were made? (Kind of like you mentioned before, as getting those as the first pieces of the actual sale?) I could paint or coat them myself, I just don't have the skills or the means necessary to attempt the fiberglass work. Thanks for trying 6LE, I know it's not your fault.

I have another guy I'm talking to, going to try everything again...

Is there anything to update us on 6LE? A set of the prototypes from the last guy, or any progress with the new guy? Thanks for trying but it looks like this may be turning into a lost cause. I'm still hoping though.
