Metal tweeter speaker cover mod

So, my little modifications continue.

I like the rotating 4D tweeters but don't really want to go through that install, but I miss the metal speaker grilles on the tweeters...I found these online and figured for $30 I would give them a whirl. As with the cupholder trim I am seriously impressed! Real metal, the Burmester script is identical to the other grilles, they don't impact sound quality at all and they look much better than the original plastic grilles IMO.

Check them out, what does everybody think?

Nice. I got those too off of eBay. I got the black titanium ones though, and put them on the tweeters and the speakers on the front and rear doors…..

They stick onto the existing plastic cover with padded tape. You could actually replace the plastic covers with them, they pop out but I don't see any reason to do that.

$16.68, a steal at twice the price!

Seriously it should have come from the factory like this

Thats why I said $30 lol. Totally worth $30.

I just ran out to run an errand, such a little touch that really elevates the interior. Looks completely factory.

Matching to the OEM grille:

Those look sharp and the fact they are metal is the nicest touch. I have the 4D Burmeister system in my car and the entire assembly on the A pilar is the flimsiest plastic you're ever seen or felt. Why on earth Mercedes would cut corners on something so obvious and use that crappy plastic baffles me.

@Phillyfinest - The carbon fiber is a very nice touch. Did you order those pieces too?

Yeah I find of got that sense looking at them, which is really a shame and especially for a very expensive option. Dare I say I actually like these covers better…

Agreed. I think they found the error of their ways; I think I heard them (or Daniel) say they have moved back to metal in the refresh. In my 2018 E63 with the 3D Burmeister, they were metal. Go figure.

They made several very questionable material choices inside the 223, hopefully the refresh solves them. I hear also that the base audio gets metal grilles there in the refresh.

yes. Got them off of eBay a few years back. I’ll look on my eBay account when I get home from work and see if I can share link.

They look really good!
Curious if Aliexpress/Ebay will have the new F/L tweeter solution later this year.
