Cant find my back stock speaker covers, ...so I tried to make my own Options

[amysmojo]

I dont have those sweet fiber glass skills some of u have....so the other day while I was putting a new front grille in I got this idea to make my own speaker trim to match it...

its not perfect..I know! But daaaamn....its hard trying to cut mesh wire out to match the shape of those things!...I'm trying it out for now....Does it look RICEY to anyone? I was thinking about spraying them black to blend in...cause w/ black u cant see my imperfections lol

i think they would look good if they were painted black

I 2nd that.. they look nice, but id suggest using some black plastic seal or gromet to wrap around the edge so it dosnt cut someone. an looks more flush. Good job. Love a girl thats creative with cars

in case you wanted to buy the OEM ones at the dealer
here are the part numbers:

Grille, Speaker

R 64033-20320-C0 $53.79 approx.
L 64034-20320-C0 $53.79 approx.

imo, i'd say they'd look better with a black cloth material cover

arent thouse sharp??..i did my mesh grill on the front and when i took it out to wire up my fog lights i cut my self like 10 times.

[amysmojo]

ya cutting them out sucked, I have a few scratches on my hands...nothing too bad though. They are pretty flush up against the panel, u just cant tell from the pic...lighting hits the mesh & makes it look all weird...its more even than it looks

but im thinking i will either do what doug said...get some black trim to wrap around the edges & make it blend in more....or paint them black!! what do i wrap around the edges? where do i buy the stuff to do it doug?

hey azian_advanced, a black cloth material for a cover? uuuh what kind of material??


*** oh & I was also planning on making a mesh cover for the front as well since i dont like the ones i have now (aftermarket but i dont like them) but my mesh isnt wide enough to cover the front speaker holes (its short by about an inch & 1/2)

I may have extra speaker covers if you want me to bring them this weekend. Yours look good though. I'd just paint them black.

[dabbill]

looks good, would be better black. if you made it 1 piece you wouldnt have sharp edges to cover up. Just a thought.

yea black is most likely what i will be doing....

1 piece isnt possible....the mesh isnt wide enough....the outter edge for each side is made up of 2 pieces! (pain in the asssss)

the 2 pieces meet up @ the blue lines:

& coomer...that would be awesome

okay! i can do that woohoo! at least i dont need that 3rd break light anymore lol

[dabbill]

ahh i thought the outer ring was 1 piece. better then what i could do heh. you also have the option of useing grill cloth to cover the outer ring. should be able to get some from any stereo store. PM me if ya want me to tell you were to get some in the area =p

Good news - Coomer gave me some stock speaker covers @ our meet the other day. Now I dont have to worry about this mesh grille project
