Dan: How about a piece of black plastic, maybe 1/8-1/4" thick, to act as a spacer. I'm sure you can find some matte black material and shape it yourself. Just a thought...

I'll get a picture tomorrow, just finished my stereo install.
I ended yp leaving the grills open, without a screen or fabric. I have one good stock screen and some time down the road I'll find another.
The grills are great, I painted them black and as they were drying i dabbed them with a sponge. they look exactly like stock.
If you cant stand the cracks in your grills bankers got the best thing I could find.
thanks

I found this old post--can you still provide speaker grills?
Thanks, Oliver

I just like to make stuff and the plastic surrounds in my 87 carrara broke from uv exposure. We wrote a program and made some out of alumnium. They are exact copies and can be painted, polished, or anodized. If you have them anodized make sure you tell the operarator that they are 6061 alloy.
If you paint them try "wrinkle paint". Use multiple lite coats and the wrinkle texture will almost look like the originals.
If you don't like the results you can always strip them and start over
