    Imo new grills scream "steal me". I want my system to look stock

    The closer an install looks to "professional", meaning no bling and aesthetics that blend into the factory panels, then the less likelihood of somebody being tempted. There's a certain frustration and intimidation that people have when they can't easily deconstruct an object for their personal gain. However, a real thief will do whatever it takes.

    Still...cuts down on temptation of others in the long run. Makes it tougher to spot too.

    for 1800collect
    The polk audio grills honestly look like they could've been factory. I'm using the DB series speakers in the doors, but im going to use the grills off the DXi coaxial's we sell at best buy since the owners of cars we install them in never want to keep them. If you've seen how the DXi series looks believe me they look like they could be factory. Besides for any grand prix owner the car will obviously not be factory. I currently have a giant subwoofer between the back seats facing the cabin, and a 300 dollar headunit with a custom dash panel that says grand prix gt with red backlit letters. Plus ill have kick pods and those wont be factory either. So its gonna be pretty obvious anyway.

    for chamilton
    Yea that sounds simple enough to build, though i dont know about welding to the car. I may settle for bolting them in and using a slightly different design. And Like the idea of representing what I've got but that amp is huge and i want the car to flow together. All black speakers, and subs that look like a set, plus the one side of my sub box is going to have a logo on it so i cant put it there, and i really need trunk space.

    Asside from just the speaker grills ill be redoing the interior completely over the summer. Ill change the tan leather to tan with maroon centers and grand prix logo on the seats, suede headliner, custom floor mats, custom b pillar gauge pod, a red LED interior kit and some other upgrades here and there. It'll look like a factory option, but any grand prix owner will know none of its stock so grills arent exactly a big deal
