My factory grilles had seen better days so i ordered some new ones from 50resto thinking that it was all good. They offer them in red, black, or grey. Anyways, I got the grey ones today and they are a WAY darker color grey than the factory FOX grey interior. Anyone else have this problem? Where can I get light grey speaker grilles that actually match my doors?

Yours are titanium and the ones they carry are probably smoke. Unless you find some in a bone yard or ebay you'll need to dye the ones you bought.

They suck because you didn't bother to find out what color they were...trashing a company like 50resto for something like that is not the way to go. What you SHOULD have done is put the money towards proper color plastic dye..like 50 sells..the color match is perfect and VERY durable when prepped properly. Two yrs later and my interior looks perfect...JUST as good as it did 2yrs ago when I dyed it.

I think my OEM speaker grills are a bit darker as they are.

Yea you're right. I didn't mean to talk bad about 50resto in general, they are a great company serving a great purpose, I just thought that all Fox grey interiors were the exact same color and didn't expect to have to paint them. I'm just lazy. Sorry 50resto.

...usually wouldn't say anything but Cost/Service/Product wise they have done me VERY VERY well. They have save me hundreds of dollars over what I would have had to spend to get the same items here in canada, not to mention delivered them faster than promised by canadian vendors (The mustang shop.ca asside)...I will say though I feel your pain when you go to put the parts in and their wrong..usually I start to swear untill someone asks me to stop.

neighbours always enjoy my antics when working on the car with the garage door open...I've been told I could do well selling tickets to the "show" as they call it.
