Looks like it's coming along good!! 
I remember my first trunk install/facial board was done with a jigsaw, glue, carpet, and some mdf.
In that case I have a lucky g/f too!!
Looks like right now they are just in the box and the board is sitting in front of them. I would leave it that way honestly as it makes it easier and you don't have to tear apart your trunk... More of just a cover for the empty space between the sides of the trunk and where the box sits. It's nice to not have to modify your trunk because if you ever take it out, your pretty much SOL.

you are a very nice BF...Lucky girl!!!
Are you going to make a sealed box for the subs or leave them IB?
Nice, that's identical to the very first install I did minus the amps. Have you considered inverting one or both subs to add a little flair?
Very Nice and clean loving it..
I was thinking to do a face on mines also but, I that would prevent access to the spare tire.

Hey it looks awesome im very impressed, and I am thinking of doing a similar install in my GS, however my only question is about the beauty board around the subs....how does it look flush with the subs if its only a beauty board? Are the subs pertruding out the sealed box an inch or so to make it look flush with the beauty board?!?!? Vry nice work man, im very impressed...also if you have AIM or AOL can you email or message me at Griffjr89... I have a ton of other ques for you if you have some free time... thanks

very nice, i have a similar setup that's a lil more space conservative. my subs aren't visible at all and the box ports through the rear deck. unfortunately i gotta pull everything out to change my shocks and springs. Awesome job!
