Default aftermkt/custom spaker grilles

I am curious for those of you who have cumped your factory speakers for aftermarket ones: are you still using the stock speaker grilles or did you decide to install aftermarket/custom ones?

Not sure what a C5/C6 grill looks like, but I easily customized my stock grills in my C4.

I set the aftermarket speakers back and put the aftermarket cover on the speaker. Then I took the paper out of the factory grill and put it back together. I have the speakers backlit with leds and it looks pretty cool. Ill try to take some pics tonight.
