No, you have to remove the vents to access it.

It would be nice if that grill screwed in from the top, it doesn't.

It's hard to tell if that trim piece that goes AROUND the grill is part of the grill or not....

BiggieTX, is that all one piece?

Does anybody have the part # for that ?

Thank you for the pictures. My center speaker blew and rattles even at the lowest volumes. Removing the vents were a breeze and i just disconnected my center speaker. I might replace it, but I don't think I need to.

I have a 2003 Lexus GS430. My trim is cracked too. Ive been going crazy doing random searches trying to find the name of the part or even how to repair. Anyone have part replacement details? I havent seen anything anywhere

But yeah, just order a new trim ring, and follow the instructions above- remove the air vents to access your broken dash speaker trim piece from below- remove the old and snap in the new one.
