Yes, you could say I've done away with the factory speaker grills.

Nice set up, for sure, but you've got to be careful that you don't accidentally "injure" a speaker. Those grills are there to protect the speakers........

I have had the doors like that for a few years now and no one has ever kicked the speaker. I hope I didn't just jinx myself lol.
