Default Help locating Mark Levinson center speaker trim

The plastic trim piece on my front center Mark Levinson speaker is disintegrating. Any idea where to find a replacement, or what the part number is?

Thanks!

Darn, I was stuck in their Electrical section, which has the speakers but not the trim... Didn't think to look in Body! Thanks!

Thanks, but you know how it is with search - it's a matter of what you put into the search terms. I used "Mark Levinson" and did not get the post you quoted, because that term was never used in the thread - just "ML" . Thanks for pointing me to it!

Cool, but it's not "me", I like to go stock. For $35, I'll go with the OEM solution. Thanks buddy!

yeah, i was involved in the thread so i remembered it.... but ML dash speaker does pull it up for people (for future reference). your welcome. i keep trying to decide if i wanna cut my new black dash to have the spot for a black speaker trim,. i think the dash looks better with the speaker grill but the OEM speaker is terrible and without a processor even a aftermarket speaker is garbage.

i liked it back then but now i wouldnt get it plus as i said its for the RHD model, its surprisingly cheap but the sun does some work on it and its hard to remove without breaking a tab on it.
