Default Front speaker cover carpet

Hi,

My 93 has the manual ZF, so the carpet from the left front speaker is worn.
I´ve seen several vendors on the web, but none give me confidence about the exact color.
Any none knows any reliable vendor who can sell me the exact color of the front speaker cover carpet?
I´m attaching a couple of photos of the carpet and what I guess is the part number with the carpet color (medium gray?)
Thanks!

Find a quality interior upholstery shop and they should have 100's of samples of interior grade carpet. You might also check custom audio shops that build the big speakers.

Thanks both Karsten & Joe!

I´ll try some upholstery shops here in my country. I can go with the sample and try.
I saw the carpets on corvette america and also on corvette central, but both offer ¨1992-1993-FRONT SPEAKER COVER CARPETS -GRAY¨.
Probably the carpet they are offering will match my color, but as mine says med gray, I wanted to be sure.

Regards.

you have to understand that the carpet covering for the speakers is very thin as compared to plain old interior carpet. the speaker carpet does not have backing as does floor carpet. I doubt most upholstery shops will carry the correct carpet material. whatever direction you go, good luck in your search.

Joe C is correct... speaker cover is much thinner, with out a backing per say... Got new front covers for my 96 from Mid America. Matched perfectly, about $29 part # 608-929 for a 93 Vett
