Polk speaker grill install, good idea?

.jrmyrmx · 02-11-2008, 07:35 PM

i bought some Polk component systems for my old integra and never used the grills, theyre still in the plastic. i had the idea to install them in the door panels of my Si coupe since the stock grills are the exact same size.

heres what they look like:

heres a quick photochop of them in the car:

also, i could paint the grill black (probably flat black to match the interior) and i have never taken the door panel off so i dont know if it would look all nasty under the grill, if so maybe stretch some red or black mesh fabric under the grill over the hole?

I like the stock look. I say keep it stock.

it'd be nice if you can match the exact color on the panels.
otherwise keep it stock

i was just noticing that the silver is a bit off...does honda make touchup paint for that? or is there any way of getting that color? im not too informed on paint stuff.

How do you plan on installing them?

its a good idea, talk to your local honda dealership about that paint

.jrmyrmx · 02-11-2008, 08:13 PM

id have to sand them down a bit so they match the texture too

hmm..they would look super cool if you had wheels with the same design, if anyone has wheels like this and wants a a set i can send em to you for free

I dont buy it... very very lacking in the creative dept. I think you will get one response of, "wow your speaker is in the shape of a rim! how clever!". Thereafter, it'll be yea... those rim styled speakers are kind of getting old.
