Rear speaker grille cloth source for '87 Firebird convert?
Had a friend of mine tune up the car a few years ago. Problem is, he carried his friggin dog in it or something, cos the cloth over the passenger side speaker grille is pulled and has a few small tears.

From what I can see, this was just a plain Ford grille with some cloth stretched over it (black) and should be an easy fix.

But, where is that cloth from? Any audiophiles who can source it? I doubt it was special to the car.

Or if you have a black one with no tears for sale, send a PM.

Many thanks!

Re: Rear speaker grille cloth source for '87 Firebird convert?
HI I bought some nice speaker cloth from a guy on Ebay a couple months ago, way more than I needed for just $5 plus shipping. Mine is grey or I would let you have it, but he has all colors. It is not the exact same weave as the stock cloth on the car but close enough no one will know. Just type speaker cloth or speaker grill in the Ebay search box.
