Default Speaker Grills

Ok so while I'm waiting on my new biketronics kit to get here I figured I would ask you guys what options I have for speaker grills. Now, I know that the new 7.1 do not require different grills, however I plan on putting new ones on it when I do the swap just mainly for aesthetics. Other than BOOM grills what are my other options?

Thanks for any and all help.

I made my own out of a metal mesh trash can and painted them black. Looks good, IMO, and the highs come through even more without any restriction. Get creative.

talk to Benji at Legacy Baggers on facebook. He makes custom cut grilles.

He cut these to match my Primo Machine Ravel constrast cut front wheel.

I replaced my grills recently with these Hawg Wired Punched style. Got them at discount from guys at Eastern Performance.
