anyone redo those thing that cover the rear speakers?

sry i dont know the name of them otherwise i would have searched cuz im sure this came up before. anywaythey are in the back and cover the back seat speaker area. im changeing my interior so i either buy black ones or do some custom work to the ones i have now and save some money.
i have acouple ideas on how to do this.

1. i find the best die for the job and just die them black
(but will it last, what die do i use, would it look good??)

2. i get some black or a leather looking material and just glue it over
(what glue do i use and will it hold?)

3. leave them off and find a way to make the speakers showing look good
(fill those holes and get a set of nice speaker covers)

anyway has anyone done this? any pics? what way should i do this??

thanks in advance

Pretty easy to get new cloth and cover them up.

If they've got the plastic backing covered in fabric, it'll take about $2 and ten minutes to recover them and have them turn out good. If you have the cardboard kind, look for the plastic kind at a salvage yard.

There should still be a tech article about them. If not, I have made my own little blurb on them here.

Stay away from covering them with leather or vinyl as it will look cool but distort the sound coming from the speakers.

I recovered mine in black speaker grill cloth. It looks awesome. Plus I've had several people ask if it was stock.
