GLE speaker covers look better than SE ones IMO

Atleast you tried to change your SE grills

kevlo911 i think you mean base stereo grilles vs Bose grilles. I like the bose ones better since they are metal.

Nice job D-Twelve!

Interesting. So you also have the metal grill. I said Se's because my friend has a loaded SEL and he has the plastic ones.

you should put those altezzas in the oven and open them up, then paint the clear part Red from the inside.

So why is the 2nd pic of your car when the thread is about custom speaker grilles you made? The first is a decent pic, but is taken from so far away, you can barely tell what we're supposed to be looking at

May want to take a closer pic so we can see the detail.

thanks guys

Vlad - the cloth is from radio shack i believe i got it a few years ago for another car, its the stuff that comes on house speakers, decent size roll cheep!

Kevlo911 - Mine is an SE Loaded, bose, with plastic covers?

2K3TitaniumSE - I like the altezzas i got alot more than the clear ones, but i want to add to them a little i think, kinda hesitant??

Conrad - Thats your opinion, i think the black on tan is a very cleen look. Pluss i had alot of trouble finding a black 99 SE loaded with tan leather!

You can buy different colors of grille cloth at www.partsexpress.com. I've used them before, and I've been very happy with their customer service.
