Any company make aftermarket speaker grills for the dash?

One of my speaker grilles in the Formula has had flapping disease the last 2 years, and I have been trying to find a nice pair for the last 2 years, then I started thinking, is there any aftermarket companies offering them?

Thanks

Front or rear?

For the rears, reproduction sail panels are available. PM me for more details on those.

For the fronts, they are not reproduced, but you shouldn't have a lot of problems finding a nice used set, or you can do what I did, and recover the entire piece with grill cloth. It's not 100% identical because you don't get the little plastic border around the edge, but nobody will ever notice the difference, and it's a 20 minute and $2 job to recover them.

Nope. My firebird is long gone, but it shouldn't be hard to visualize. You just wrap the entire grill in cloth and reinstall it.
