You have to remove the door panel first. I believe you can order them as a separate part

Really simple. Pull door panel, flip over and undo folded over tabs on speaker grill and remove.

Vette essentials has a good write-up on how to remove door panels.

You really don't have to pull the door panel totally off, just pull it loose and go in from the bottom.

The speaker grilles are available separately and aren't that bad of a price. Contact me directly and I'll be happy to price for you.

I took mine off, cleaned then real good, and then spray painted them black. Looks perfect. Worth a try before spending good money on new ones.

Since they're metal they can be powder coated too.
