Replaced Coupe Front Speakers - Needs a Spacer???

Well anyways, I decided to replace my front speakers in the coupe finally, so now my system consists of a JL 500/5, a JL 12w3v2 and an old set of Rainbow Dreamline 6.5" Components for the front that I had laying around from my old G20 but I had to buy new tweeters for the component set cause one of my old Dreamline Tweets blew or just wasnt playing for some reason, So I replaced them with a set of CDT Audio Image Enhancement tweeters (part# TW-19T/LP) I got for only like $50 shipped. So the install was fairly easy, the tweeters fit nicely in the stock location behind the grill, i just used some double-sided tape, layered it and mounted the tweet right on the stock bracket thingy that was holding the stock tweet, and I also had to drill new holes in the door for the mid to fit...but when i was done I got to thinkin and I noticed that the stock speaker was actually about another 1.25"-1.5" further away from the door...and when i put my door panel on the speaker was further back then stock and now theirs about a 1.25"-1.5" space between the door panel and the speaker, so my question is, is it possible to order some type of spacer that'll line up the speakers exactly and have it sit snuggly up against the door panel??

like this one off a sedan for instance (the white spacer thingy)...

this is a pic from nextmill's ride from freshalloy, if you dont want me to use this pic let me know...

is there a part number for these maybe? Cause I'll be willng to buy a pair of these spacers from the sedan and try them to let you guys know if they'll fill that space...

btw, here's the link for the tweeters, for those of you just wanting to upgrade the tweets, you'll need to buy an additional cap or crossover...
