I have two mini HK tweeters which I bought before deciding to go the full HK trim route, I will check the part numbers and update this post with some pics tomorrow. I didn’t use them because I just did not like the finished look compared to HK mesh trim but it certainly would be a cheaper option although I do not think it would be necessarily an easier fit.
As you will notice the non H/K trim is not flat (rounded) and drilling to accept a surface mount tweeter will leave a gap which you will have to fill ti look decent. I have to agree the OEM H/K body moldings are the way to go.

If you get tweeters in them, your a luck guy. Seems today, the tweeters are not included and available separately.
