Default Speaker grilles, who is using them and who is keeping the stock ones

My new speakers just came in, the grilles look pretty tasteful that came with them.. My truck had manual doors so it has the cheap looking grilles for the speakers in there.. Do you think these would look nice in place of the factory ones or would it look to tacky??? Honest opinions.. I am doing away with my power windows, cuz they are getting slow, I am honestly tired of dealing with them, so I have nice cranks coming that is going to be powdered black.. The tweets are going to go where the black arrow is pointing, the red arrow is where the cranks will go.. I think it will look good, accent the black I have above the arm rest... Anyway here is the grilles.. Opinions PLEASE I want this to look right..

My rotation is probably a little off, but that's probably what it's gonna look like.
Because I don't have a picture of the grille from that angle, I can't show you what the top depth is going to be

What about swapping door panels & stuff to the GM power window stuff? Here's how I did mine. Infinity Kappa, crossovers mounted in stock tweeter location.
