Are there ANY good looking speaker grills?

Im looking for some speaker grills to protect my sub, but i cant find any simple ones anywhere. They are either the generic checkerboard type pattern, or some audiobahn Spinning flames with LEDs on it

i like the look of like the 6 spoke simple designs, but i cant find any. what do you guys usually use?

I at least need something to go around the perimeter of the sub to cover the mounting screws, but i would like the protection of a grill too...

How exactly?

i mean i can get crafty, but i wouldnt know where to begin.

is it possible to just buy those rubber rings that snap around the perimeter of a sub to cover the holes?

radio shack sells very standard speaker/sub grills. they are just like a fine black mesh pattern. only problem is that they dont stick out very far, so if you got a fat surround on your sub, it wont fit.

these are a little blinggy but not too bad.

no, they arent that bad. i was trying to stay away from chrome all together, but at least it dosent have the flames or lights. lol.

what i think ill end up doing is making the sub flush mount to my box and then put grill cloth over it.

that might be the only way to make it look simple and cover up those ugly mounting holes.

use some very fine sand paper or steel wool, and make a brushed look on the metal.
