    Will the covers that came with the speakers fit instead?

    I have modded them to fit but #1 there hella ugly and #2 the mesh on them is so thin you can see the speaker directly through them and thats bad for 2 reasons, everyone can see them and the sun beats down on them.

    You can knock a hole in the plastic part where the tweeter is so that you have just the cloth part covering it up.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    On my 88 4door I just used longer screws to hold the two pieces of the grill together that worked good for me.
    **Some Info on my car can be found here **
