C4 Corvette Door Speaker Grill
C4 Corvette Door Speaker Grill

The Corvette Speaker Grill (or speaker cover) on the door of your C4 takes a beating over time.  It gets a jolt each time the door slams and it’s probably taken more than a few direct kicks over the years as you exit the Corvette.  The result: a broken, scuffed or torn speaker grill. It’s one of those Corvette Parts that will eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear.

But there’s a simple fix. New replacement speaker covers from Zip will help give the interior of your 1984-1989 C4 Corvette that new car look once again. These door speaker grills are equipped with an unornamented center bar to save you the cost of replacing the emblem OR if you elect to add the emblem, simply drill two pilot holes and mount the Bose emblem. Speaker cover grills are low gloss black instead of the factory flat black for a show car look. Order a pair for your car today!
