Default ANY SPEAKER COVERS AVAILABLE FOR STOCK?

Does anyone know if there are any speaker covers available BESIDES 3D carbon? They are the ONLY ones I can find and I don't like how they have the giant '3D' logo on them.

Hey Chevykiller,

I used Polk sub covers (8" Momo style) to replace the factory sub covers. You can see them in my gallery. The hole pattern is a perfect match, so all you have to do is pull the factory ones. The outer ring pulls off and the inner "grill" pattern cover comes off once you unscrew the surrounding screws and pry it off--it's glued on to the metal base of the sub, but it's not that hard.

You'll note that the available speaker covers from 3D and Steeda are just top plates. That's because the sub does not mount flush with the door, it's at an angle and the factory trim ring is canted at the right angle to take up the extra space towards the lower corner. To make the Polk/Momo's fit flush, you need to do some modifying to add extra material (then finish/paint to a color of your choice). I haven't done this in the pics in my gallery, but it gives you a good idea of what it will look like when finished (if I stay with silver, I'm considering dark charcoal to blend back into the door).

At any rate, I HATE the factory sub grill, so something had to be done. I'll try to get some pics up of the factory angle I'm talking about, so you can see what mods would be needed to make another style of sub grill work.

Best,
-j
