Rear Speaker Cover Help (FD)

I recently purchased an FD that had the stock rear speakers removed. In their place was a set of 6x9 Pioneer speakers. While they are in good condition, I want them out. The general jist is to return the area back to stock.

However, it's missing some pieces. 6 pieces as far as the parts diagram is concerned. Unfortunately, I only have a rough idea of what these parts look like.

There are 3 parts on each side which I'm missing as detailed below:

Left Speaker Grille: Part # FD01-68-5W0(33) Tan
Right Speaker Grille: Part # FD01-68-5H0(33) Tan
Right Speaker Pocket: Part # FD01-68-5C1(33) Tan
Left Speaker Pocket: Part # FD01-68-5N1(33) Tan
Left Speaker Cover: Part # FD05-68-5NX(33) Tan
Right Speaker Cover: Part # FD05-68-5CX(33) Tan

And here is a diagram straight from the parts catalog:



I can fabricate whatever goes on behind the panel so I'm figuring I don't need the Pockets.

What I'm curious about is the Speaker Grille's. When I think Grille, I think of a wire mesh covering. However, the parts diagram just shows some ring that goes along the edge of the panel. Then they show a speaker cover which goes inside of the grill (at least, it looks that way.)

I have none of these parts, so I have no idea what they look like. As well, I can't find a picture of someone who has these parts (be they installed or taken out) so I can reference what I need to bring the car back to a stock look. Scoured this site and the net and while a lot of people have great aftermarket setups in it's place, I don't want aftermarket. Not on the surface at least.

Can anyone assist me in figuring out what these parts physically look like?

Much Appreciated,

Hey, I have the rear speaker set up and can send you picks of what the grills look like when I get home or post them here if you havnt seen any by that time. Here is the thing, if you want rear speakers DO NOT buy those bins. The bins were for Bose systems that had that wave system in the hatch area. If you want speakers all you need is to by the the speakers grills and thats it. They are plastic are true grills. The pick may show the outline, but it is not just an empty ring. Behind them, which is what it sounds like you are going to try to fabricate, are metal brackets that hold a 5X7 speakers. I used a 5X7 to 6'1/2 adaptor so I could fit my speakers in properly. The seatbelt is right behind the speakers. This is actually a nusance, because the speakes I have are relativly deep, and when I first install them the magnet attracted the "emergency belt lock" metal piece, and I couldnt move my passenger seatbelt. I ajusted and have not had an issuer ever since. I will take a look at this post later this afternoon and if I havnt see a pic up I will send you a few or post them. Hope this helps.

Very much appreciated. That's all I needed to know.

I figured the bins were for the stock Boss system and wouldn't be compatable with what I was going to put in there.

Pictures shouldn't be necessary. I got the information I needed.


Again, thanks.
