The factory speaker grills are easy to paint. Infact I went for the stainless look. All you have to do is pull off the panel like you have to do to replace the speaker anyway. Then remove the grill from the panel. Simply bend the tabs that hold it in place back up to slide it out. Then scuff it up and paint it how ever you like then reinstall in reverse order. I just removed mine and wire wheeled them to remove the black paint (brushed steel look) then clear coated them and reinstalled them. Looks great. I can take and post pics if you like.

Here are some picks of mine. Sorry that they are not good quality but it is 11 at night and the lighting in my garage is to the front of the car. You get the Idea anyway. IMO I like them much better than stock black. It is also the trend of todays sportscar anyway.

Yes they came in tan on the 93s with tan interior. I was gonna buy some off a friend, but I would have had to paint them black.
