Default Drivers speaker grill repair idea.

Got tired of looking at that bare hole in the driver's door speaker! Speaker was just waiting for me to stick my foot into it and ruin it! I bought some black aluminum fine mesh stock and used tin snips to cut out a grill. Guess I could of made it about a 1/4" larger to fit the oval shaped hole to it's edge. Of course it doesn't look original but it will suffice and I don't think it looks that bad.

Maybe just paint the screws black so they don't stick out as much.

What? You don't like the bling? LoL. Ace Hardware wanted .65 cents for each small black screw. $5.60 for 8 little screws so I said no thank you! Already had these screws so I used them instead.

I had a problem with silver screws once, in fact my solution is still working (some trim on a 2002 Chevy Camaro). I used a black permanent marker on them (two to three coats after each coat dried). Got to move fast on the second and third coat as the marker ingredients breaks down the previous ink and you can get frustrated re-coating them BUT it worked black screws on a blact interior). Never forgot that hack... LOL
