No, the dash pad had the perforated center regardless of radio, or even no-radio, option.

The OEM speaker was 4x8. An unusual size, only a few Ford products and one or two GM applications ever used this size. Hard to find, today, although I know one or two places that offer them. Most Mustang suppliers offer a 4x6 replacement, but of course this leaves a 1" gap at each end on original installations.

Here's some pics of the door grill on/off, mounts, grill backing. Please excuse the rough speaker openings, I cut them with a dremel, hard to control, I have to smooth them with a file/stone bit. There are 6 mounting holes, if you get the grills it'd be easy to hold it up to the door and mark where the holes go with a thin pencil then drill. I appears the nylon nuts are square mount so I guess you'd file the holes square to pop them in. 6 mounting holes total, black beveled flathead machine screws with phillips heads.
