Nice job!
I have to say this is a very nice (semi) stealth install!
I am not a big Zapco fan, nor would I ever install tweeters (other than ambient tweets) that high and far away from the mids... due to a large ammount of sound seperation... But it looks like it was installed well. Also Quarts tend to be a bit tinny to me, I prefer a silk tweet to a metalic one but that is personal preference. They (silk) aren't quite so bright and tinny, they create more of a balanced sound stage...
Overall if I were to rate it...
7 of 10 for install (Looks wise it is GREAT! I don't like extremely high tweets and the seperation between tweet and mid is too much... but overall good execution. Great sub enclosure!)
6 of 10 for gear (not a big fan of Zapco and I prefer silk tweets over Quarts metalic ones...)
Good stuff!
(please don't think I am being negative just giving my opinion! I am a former first class installer and an audiophile of sorts so I tend to be a little overly critical 
)

Thanks for the imput,
While the tweets are separated from the mids, it took those bright highs and pushed the soundstage forward. You get great deflection off the windshield.
The stock location for the tweeters kind of sucks, they fire at your chest area.
MB quart highs are extremely bright, but I do have them toned down at the cross over. I am with you, silk is nice, but these have always held up for me.
Thanks again for the compliments.
