custom subwoofer grilles

Ok, I hate doing this, and i've searched here AND google to no avail. Awhile ago I was at a website that would make you a speaker grille with any design on it in different colored plexiglass or whatever. Now I can't find it. Anyone have any idea what i'm talking about. I need speaker grilles and I want to make them custom, where can I go?

I want this too.. I don't know of any website... but anyone that is good with fiberglass or whatever material your interested in should be able to do the trick... I asked my local car audio shop about getting fiberglass rotor made for my 12.. they said they could do it.. but it wouldn't be cheap.. i can't remember the estimate they gave me.. but I remember there was no way in hell I was going to do it.

let me know what you know. I found a place in the UK that can do them for a sweet price however the shipping is $177 for 2 damn grilles to the states. That's garbage!

honestly cutting plexiglass isn't that hard, i mean i did it when i was 12 with a jigsaw.. yeah some melted if you tried to do it all at once or too slowly bu the final product wasn't bad. Little extra work and you could smooth out the sides with no problems.

Need a picture of what you are trying to do...

His Name is Bobby Gately and he's a good guy... He can do anything immaginable with Plexi, and works through Mail order as well...

I have purchased a few of his boxes and the fit and finish was top notch.
