Cost to replace plastic speaker grill on dashboard?

[TomT]

I'm getting ready to have a stereo system put into my 2013 Trail (Entune, non-JBL). I'm trying to go full stealth install with everything going behind the factory grills.

The plan for the dashboard is to put a mid and tweeter in there. Since only a small portion is perforated to allow sound through I'm going to try to drill a bunch of small holes to enlarge the perforated area.

I'm wondering how much Toyota charges for that part in case I screw up one or two in the process? I tried to look them up on a couple of sites but didn't have any luck.

Thanks for any help,
Tom

seriously?

You could have spent 1/2 the time posting this and called your local dealership.

Well, I'm currently at work can't call them right now. It would also be nice to find out if there are any good online options for sourcing parts. Luckily for me there are nice people like you who are willing to chime in with no actual help but plenty of attitude.

Here is a link to Camelback Toyota. Should be item #2 and #3 on the diagram. Please post pictures of your grill mod when you are done. Good luck!

Thanks!!! Now I know that I can screw them up and it won't be too expensive to try again. Just hit Home Depot to get some bits for my Dremel tool (damn those holes are small...). I'll post some before and after pics. Hopefully the after pics won't show a bunch of carnage.

Never mind the grill. How are you fitting a mid and a tweeter in there?

I'm not, my installer is.

The plan is to use the Hertz HSK-163 components. The midrange is a 3" (vs a 4" in most other 3 way systems) and he thinks it could work.

The whole system plan is:

Factory head unit into an Audio Control LC6i feeding two amps.

Front Stage - Hertz 3 ways powered by 4 channels (bridged to two) from a JL Audio XD1000/5 giving them about 175w per channel.

Sub - A JL Microsub CP208 powered by the remaining channel of the XD1000/5.

Rear doors and rear hatch - Swap factory crap for Alpine Type R 6.5" Coax speakers all powered by a JL XD400/4 (roughly 75w ea.).

Not going crazy comp level or SQL like I used to. Just a good solid system that can kick ass when I ask it to.
