Default Carpet on speakers: 90 convert

After 15 years of having the top down almost any time the sun is shining, I'm considering replacing the carpet on my convert. Carpet is easy to find (Ecklers, MAD, Corvette Central, etc.), but has anyone here ever seen the carpeted speaker covers which are attached to the threshold? All the suppliers can provide a new carpeted threshold, but none of them have the speaker covers installed. I've searched everwhere I can think of, but can't find the speaker covers. Don't want to spend the money on new red carpets, and keep the faded covers if I can avoid this.

I also could not find the speaker covers, but if the material is not torn, just faded, you could spray it with the correct color interior/carpet dye from Ecklers, Corvette America, etc. and you should get a good match. I've done this and was quite pleased with the results.

I used the duplicolor brand from the local Advanced Auto store and was happy with it. I would only recommend it for stuff like this though and not the whole carpet area becaue it does make the carpet really stiff.

Dear Mike Yager, Chief Cheerleader @ MidAmerica,

Sounds like an opportunity for a new product in your next catalog

Last year I was on a mission to find one for the drivers front on mine. I tried every salvage, mad, CC you name it, no-one had that stuff or just new grills for the 90 style (on mine the materiaal is like a terry cloth and not carpet) If you find any pleaase PM me
