Removal of HK speaker covers
Hey guys! So I found some Bowers speaker covers on AliExpress and wondered if anyone has done the install? If so how did they go along removing the speaker covers?

I'm sure someone can give you detailed instructions on how to do this, but I just have to ask: why would you go through all this trouble to pretend you have the B&W system in your car by swapping out the speaker grilles?

I'm going full custom audio install, didn't see the point in spending the $6,000 to re-do the whole system anyway. But the light up thing is pretty cool.
I found the B&W system to not have enough bass, with the install of a new system I can have it sounding the way I want. |

Thank you brother. The quality on the grills is really good. I got impressed with how accurately they fit in the door panels. To be honest, I would not recommend the speakers they sell, and would recommend replacing the tweeters that come with the covers, they all sound horrible. My plan is to replace all the speakers, hopefully by tomorrow. I haven't done the center channel speaker cover yet, but will get to that as well.

I have to admit that I am not trying to impress/fool anyone by installing these speaker covers. All I am doing is to make myself happy by spending my money. And maybe, I am sorry that I heart some peoples' feelings by posting the above pictures. I would have gotten speaker covers without any logos, but with LEDs, if there was any. With respect.

Ever heard of VIN decoders ?!? That lists all the factory options at the time of purchase ?!? This is the first thing to check before buying an used BMW!

thanks for the pics, those look real good in the evening. Its amazing how quickly they plugged in and matched the interior colors. I remember in the B&O menu there was a light to change the colors for the speakers individually. Im not sure if you can code that in or does it just switch colors with the rest of the interior now? also did you install the center speaker? |

Yeah that looks great! Good job 👏🏻
People who do this to cars don't ruin them they make them better same as any modifications, if they're not to your taste then you don't have to buy it or do it. |
